SUMMARY:Modern Irish Flavors for St. Patrick's Day
DESCRIPTION:St. Patrick’s Day cooking is often defined by a narrow set of expectations\, but Irish food has always been more layered than a single holiday plate. In this demonstration and tasting class\, Chef Cheo offers a fresh perspective on traditional Irish flavors\, exploring recipes\, techniques and presentations that feel both familiar and unexpected. \nRooted in land\, weather and history\, Irish cooking favors hearty ingredients and dishes meant to sustain and bring people together. Instead of repeating the usual corned beef and cabbage\, the class reimagines classic elements with thoughtful updates — turning soda bread into tender scones\, enriching cottage pie with Guinness and reshaping beloved flavors into new\, shareable forms that still honor their origins. The result is an engaging experience that balances tradition with creativity and offers new ways to enjoy Irish-inspired cooking well beyond March. Enter the grounds: Farm at the Arboretum\, for the Kitchen Classroom. See website for ticketing.
