Apple Cooking Class

Discover the delights of autumn in the Hudson Valley with our hands-on apple-themed cooking class, led by the talented Chef Jennie! Nestled in the heart of apple country, our Bed & Breakfast is thrilled to present this seasonal culinary experience during the peak of apple season.

In this immersive class, you'll explore the versatility of local apples through a delicious menu inspired by the rich flavors of fall. Chef Jennie will guide you step-by-step as you create:

• Local Apple Tasting: Begin with a tasting of various local apple varieties, learning about their unique flavors and best uses in cooking.
• Apple Butternut Squash Soup: Craft a comforting and creamy soup that marries the sweet notes of apples with the hearty richness of butternut squash.
• Apple Stuffed Pork Tenderloin with Apple Brandy Caramel: Prepare a succulent pork tenderloin stuffed with apples, complemented by a decadent apple brandy caramel sauce.
• Warm Brussels Sprout Salad with Apples, Asiago, and Toasted Pecans: Enjoy a vibrant salad featuring crisp Brussels sprouts, crisp apples, sharp Asiago cheese, and crunchy toasted pecans.
• Apple Bread Pudding: End on a sweet note with a classic apple bread pudding, perfect for savoring the flavors of the season.

Chef Jennie’s hands-on approach ensures you’ll leave with new skills and recipes to recreate these dishes at home. Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of cooking, tasting, and enjoying the very best of Hudson Valley apples!

Chef Jennie is a locally based Hudson Valley Chef that focuses on both the health benefits and mouthwatering reasons for getting back to real food!
