Hang out with the stars! You know these famous chefs from their books or television. Now you can learn from them in person.
DESCRIPTION - (D) Join Carole Bloom, pastry chef and author of the new book
Bite-Size Desserts. Petite desserts are perfect for parties and the holiday season, and in this session, she’ll make some of these delicious bite-sized gems while sharing her tips and techniques.
Carole Bloom studied pastry and confectionary arts in Paris and London, has worked in five-star hotels and restaurants around the world, and has taught for over 30 years. With so much experience—and with chocolate as one of her specialties—it’s no surprise that she’s the author of nine dessert cookbooks, including
Bite-Size Desserts; The Essential Baker; Truffles, Candies, and Confections; and Chocolate Lover’s Cookbook for Dummies. In addition to her books, Carole’s recipes and articles have been featured in Bon Appétit, Gourmet, Food & Wine, Fine Cooking, Epicurious.com, and other publications. Her television appearances include the Today Show, Better Homes and Gardens, and CNN.
DESCRIPTION - (D) Anne Burrell first worked in a restaurant while attending Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, (where she has since taught in both professional and recreational programs). Graduating in 1991, she worked as a physician headhunter, but found the culinary world called. She did grunt work at local restaurants while attending the Culinary Institute of America and upon graduation studied at the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners, spending time in Piedmont, Umbria, Tuscany, and Liguria.
In New York, after serving as sous chef at Felidia, she moved to Savoy as chef in the prix fixe dining room. She most recently ran the Centro Vinoteca kitchen, a neighborhood Italian restaurant and wine bar located in NYC’s West Village.
Burrell has battled alongside Mario Batali as his sous chef on Iron Chef America and reveals concise, easy-to-master restaurant techniques for the at-home cook on Secrets of a Restaurant Chef (both on Food Network).
