• Savory to Sweet - The Art of Vinaigrettes with Chef Grant Nooe

  Why buy commercially processed vinaigrettes with synthetic emulsifiers and artificial flavorings? Learn just how easy, versatile, flavorful and healthful homemade vinaigrette can be. From savory to sweet, every culture has created its own unique version – from the sweet-and-sour of Asia to the agrodolce of Italy. Have fun creating your own simple sauces using fresh ingredients and a variety of oils and acids. Additionally, you’ll learn how to work with fresh crabmeat, roast duck and sear salmon to perfection. You do not want to miss this special guest chef appearance by local celebrity chef Grant Nooe.
