Savour the season with the latest offering of Celebrity Chef Cooking Classes from the Arts Club Theatre Company. This popular fundraising series returns with four evenings dedicated to elegant comfort food paired with B.C. wine. Presented in private designer homes throughout Vancouver, the classes run February 26–March 28.
The new winter series offers the opportunity for food and wine connoisseurs to act as sous chefs to some of Vancouver’s most diverse and talented chefs. The classes provide a lively setting for creating four-course menus, learning professional tips and tricks, and preparing the freshest of seasonal produce. Classes are $125 each (with $50 tax receipt).
All classes start at 6 PM. Full schedule of Celebrity Chef Cooking Classes:
Tuesday, February 26 Tim Evans, Siena Restaurant
Sunday, March 3 Quang Dang, West Restaurant
Monday, March 11 Bruno Feldeisen, YEW restaurant + bar
Thursday, March 28 Craig Dryhurst, YEW restaurant + bar
The cooking classes give a survey of top eateries in Vancouver and the international chefs who oversee innovative and contemporary menus. British chef Tim Evans, who honed his craft at Michelin-starred restaurants in the UK, now brings his expertise to Siena Restaurant, on South Granville. Quang Dang won silver in the Gold Medal Plates culinary competition in 2012, and heads up the kitchen at West Restaurant, renowned for its modern West Coast cuisine. Bruno Feldeisen of YEW restaurant + bar is a pastry arts expert, and he brings a distinct European flair with his French, Italian, and German background. Craig Dryhurst, also of YEW restaurant + bar, is classically trained, with a career built in the kitchens of luxury hotels in England, France, and the US.
The wine pairings for each dinner are provided by Mission Hill Family Estate and Ganton & Larsen Prospect Winery, two of the finest labels from the Okanagan Valley.
