with Chef Miranda Kohout
Come celebrate some of the sweetest seasonal flavors while you learn to bake up something delicious with Chef Miranda Kohout in the HKS Kitchen. Your evening will begin with a savory-sweet butternut squash and goat cheese galette appetizer. Then it will be time to learn the art of crafting a tart. Using the chef’s chocolate-almond tart dough as a base, you’ll prepare the pears and make the chocolate almond cream and dark chocolate sauce from scratch. Chef Miranda will guide you through the techniques you’ll need to build this elegant dessert layer by layer – from the crust and luscious filling to topping it off with chef’s airy whipped crème fraîche and a drizzle of decadent dark chocolate sauce. If you’re looking for a truly memorable baking experience, this is a class you won’t want to miss. Recipes will be provided. Tickets are priced per person.
*All class ticket sales are final. No refunds or credit transfers to other classes are available. If you purchase a ticket and are unable to attend, please contact us to check our waitlist.*
MEET THE CHEF:
Miranda graduated from the French Pastry School in Chicago in 2005. Her pastry career began at NoMI, a Michelin-star restaurant in Park Hyatt’s flagship property on Michigan Avenue. It continued at Goddess & Grocer, Hoosier Mama Pie Company, and The Bristol. In 2015, she, her husband, and their dog Doc, relocated to Northwest Arkansas. Her introduction to the NWA culinary scene was at The Farmer’s Table in Fayetteville, where their passion for local products and support of area farmers shaped her perspective on food and cooking in her new home. If you’re a fan of beloved local spots, there’s a good chance you’ve been introduced to her pastries and baked goods. Miranda has created desserts for Pressroom, The Hive, and baked pies at Wright’s BBQ. Currently, she consults on the dessert menu at Conifer in Bentonville.
