Description
When the Seattle sun shines summertime flavors are top of mind. Build your skills in learning methods to sear salmon that retain moisture and pack flavor by learning to sear salmon with cherry tomatoes and summer squash. Experience bright summer vegetables in orzo pasta salad with basil and arugula pesto. And Chef Ben’s favorite, transforming cornbread into a sweet strawberry shortcake with honey thyme whipped cream. From the oven to the grill, make your summer meals quick and easy so you can spend more time outside.
With dairy, eggs, nuts and seafood.
About the instructor: Chef Ben Leonard brings together cooks from around the world to bond over cooking fresh, delicious, healthy food (with a good helping of food puns sprinkled on).
