Cook like a Chef: Tuesday, Nov. 4, 6:30-8:30 p.m. Kitchener Market
Join us for an exciting new series hosted by Top Chef Canada participant, Terry Salmond. In this series learn how to cook as opposed to what to cook. We debunk the myth that cooking is a fine art and that good cooking is difficult. Chef Terry will demonstrate a variety of cooking tips, techniques and skills designed to make the home cook a top chef. From clarifying butter to the perfect turkey, from trussing to blanching - we'll show you the secrets of the professional kitchen!
