Mother’s Day Sunday Brunch Workshop with Chef David Wurth

HGS Home Chef

Learn to cook a seasonal brunch...and enjoy it together.

If there’s one thing you can say about David Wurth’s food, it would be SEASONAL. Every dish he created for his beloved eatery CrossRoads Food Shop was centered on what was available from local farmers, and how he could express those flavors in the menu of the day. Announcing the first in a quarterly series of seasonal workshops followed be a delicious Sunday brunch with the chef, these hands-on workshops will take place in our lovely upstairs kitchen and enjoyed together in the adjoining dining room. Fingers crossed that the early spring weather will include days warm enough to produce some fresh from-the-field local ingredients. If not, we will Think Spring and improvise! <h3>Menu to include:</h3><ul><li>Early Spring Salad with Poached Eggs, Dill &amp; Parmesan Biscuit Croutons</li><li>Scrambled Eggs and Bacon Hush Puppies with Romesco</li><li>Salt Cod and Potato Frittata</li><li>Coffee</li><li>Mimosas</li></ul>This hands-on workshop (plus Brunch) will be limited to EIGHT people. <h3>About David Wurth</h3>Chef David Wurth began cooking long ago as part of the family team that assembled meals for evening dinner. Everybody helped a little. He vividly recalls helping his mother make a salad where he learned that the technique of tearing the lettuce leaves instead of cutting them with a knife made for a better tasting salad. He also recalls learning that after slicing a cucumber for the salad there is left a small nub at the end the salad maker gets to eat as a special only-for-the-cook treat. Secrets and special treats—well that was intriguing enough to open the door to spend more time in the kitchen. Later, there were professional stops in Martha’s Vineyard and Philadelphia and New York City, and then Philmont, NY. Most recently he was the chef/owner of CrossRoads Food Shop in Hillsdale NY, where he famously made egg sandwiches, pancakes, baked goods, pickles and sandwiches for a full decade of Hudson Valley deliciousness while using seasonal ingredients grown by his local farmer friends.Cancellation policy: We do not offer refunds on purchased tickets.Cooking class attendees receive 10% discount on kitchenware and cookbook purchases on class day.HGS Home Chef is a member of TheWorkshopExperience.org, a group of friends who produce exceptional experiential learning through classes and workshops on a wide variety of topics in and around Hillsdale, NY - at the crossroads of the Hudson Valley and Berkshires.
