Luck ‘O The Irish Feast

Get ready to don your green aprons and ignite your taste buds with our “Luck of the Irish” cooking class, led by the charismatic and skilled, Chef Kevin! This St. Patrick’s Day, we’re not just painting the town green; we’re also cooking up a storm of authentic Irish delights that will leave your palate dancing a jig.

Can you smell that? It’s the tantalizing aroma of tangy Irish lamb stew, simmering away to perfection. Picture chunks of tender lamb, mingling with hearty vegetables in a rich, flavorful broth. Next on our menu are the delectable colcannon cakes with smoked salmon – a crispy, creamy delight that’s a true taste of Emerald Isle tradition.

But it doesn’t stop there! We’ll also be kneading and baking traditional Irish soda bread – a rustic, hearty bread with a delightful crust that’s just begging to be slathered with butter. And for the grand finale, we’ll whip up a scrumptious Chocolate Guinness cake. Imagine a moist, dense, chocolatey delight with a hint of stout richness that’s as enchanting as an Irish fairy tale.

In this high-energy, hands-on class, Chef Kevin will guide you through each recipe step-by-step, sharing his professional tips and tricks along the way. You’ll learn how to balance flavors, perfect textures, and present your dishes with flair.
