cooking classes
JOIN THE CHEF

 

Come join us on the third Saturday of every month for an in-depth cooking class with Chef Luc Dendievel at Restaurant 55°. Each class will focus around a three-course meal designed by the Chef, augmented by wine pairings and lectures by wine director, Kassidy Harris.

Classes start at 9am with assorted pastries, coffee, and juices. Students will receive a recipe booklet followed by a welcome by Chef Luc Dendievel and Wine Director Kassidy Harris. At 9:30, the chef will begin a live demonstration of the entire preparation process of the the three-course meal. You will be able to interact directly with the chef, tasting the food at its different stages, and asking any questions as the chef prepares the meal.

By 12:00, the demonstration will be complete, and you'll be seated in the restaurant dining room to be served the three course meal with Chef Luc and Kassidy. At this time, paired wines will be poured with each course; Kassidy will discuss wine attributes, how to pair wine, and engage in discussion with you while you enjoy your meal with the wines. This will be an excellent opportunity for you to ask any questions about the food, cooking, or the wine selections.

Chef Dendievel’s charismatic approach to cooking, along with Kassidy’s down-to-earth presentation of wine, will enable you to walk away with the ability to create a gourmet three-course meal at home, a broader basis of cooking technique, an increased wine knowledge and the confidence that comes from learning how to do things the right way.

Classes cost $130 per person, will be limited to 18 people per class, and require a pre-paid reservation. To make your reservation, please call 916-553-4100. Email info@restaurant55.com with questions.
