Premiere Class: Low and Slow: Braising, Roasting, and Stewing—$150

Low & Slow: The Art of Braising, Roasting & Stewing

There's a particular kind of magic that happens when you stop rushing. This evening is about savoring the results of patience, tasting how time and gentle heat transform the toughest cuts of meat into something that falls apart at the touch of a fork and how a proper stew deepens into something that tastes like it holds the memory of every ingredient. You'll experience the fundamental techniques that separate rushed cooking from the kind that nourishes—the way a roast bronzes and crisps, the slow blip of a simmer, the aromas that build when ingredients surrender to low, steady heat.

We've worked with humble ingredients that reward slow attention: cuts of meat marbled that have been coaxed into tenderness, root vegetables that have broken down into silky richness or caramelized into sweet, burnished edges in a hot oven, aromatics that have bloomed and perfumed the kitchen for hours. You'll hear the stories behind each dish—when to cover and when to let heat work its browning magic, how a fond becomes liquid gold, why some things need dry heat while others demand to be submerged and simmered. This is comfort cooking at its most elemental, the kind that fills a home with warmth and makes people linger at the table. Come ready to slow down, to taste the difference that time makes, and to understand why the best meals can't be rushed.
