Calling all carnivores!

Many of us have forgotten that the meat we buy comes from animals. To reconnect with the meat’s source (hint: it’s not a cellophane-wrapped package), local chefs have turned to whole animal butchery. The Whole Beast series will highlight the processes involved in butchering and preparing prime cuts, as well as some of the lesser-known bits. You will leave class with a greater appreciation for the whole animal, from nose to tail or beak to feet.

In this class Chef Mark Haskell will show participants how to choose, cut, prepare and cook a wide variety of meat and fish. After learning to prepare and portion the meat properly, you will try your hand at grilling, sautéing, frying, and braising different fish and meat varieties. The menu will feature salmon, tuna, cod, southern pickled pork, and duck prosciutto. Accompanying sauces and side dishes will be served as well.

Complimentary beer and wine are included in the price of the course!
