Step into the HKS Kitchen with Chef Katie Helams for a delightful cooking experience featuring classic English fare as it captures the cozy charm of the British countryside. The evening kicks off with Chef Katie’s refreshing Chilled Pea and Mint Soup with Goat Cheese Crostini. For the hands-on portion of the class, you’ll learn to make a savory main course of golden Cornish Pasty filled with the comforting and filling flavors of beef, potatoes, onion, and rutabaga. Then you’ll make a vibrant Roasted Beet and Carrot Salad that adds a touch of seasonal color. And you’ll whip up a light and luscious Lemon Fool for dessert. This hands-on class celebrates the warmth, simplicity, and timeless appeal of British-inspired cooking while giving you delicious new dishes and techniques to take home. Recipes will be provided. Tickets are priced per person.
