It was subsequently adopted and expanded to consistently provide gourmet-quality meals to first class travelers on Air France. In the last two decades, sous vide cooking has sparked a wave of culinary innovation and creativity, and has become the secret of top chefs at major restaurants around the world. French for "under vacuum" is a method of cooking in which food is sealed in airtight plastic bags then placed in a water bath or in a temperature-controlled steam environment for longer than normal cooking times at an accurately regulated temperature much lower than normally used for cooking. The intent is to cook the item evenly, ensuring that the inside is properly cooked without overcooking the outside, and retain moisture.

Saturday, November 19th ● 11:30 – 2:00 pm ● “Baking with Beer Grains, Beer and Bourbon” ● Demonstration Class ● Brad Dillon – Brad’s Designer Breads ● $50.00 For all you home-brewers who hate to trash those expensive grains and malts that you purchased to brew your favorite beer, here’s the chance to redeem yourself, and your grains. It is possible to take your spent wet grains, mix them with some yeast to form a pre-ferment, and then create a delicious loaf of a good crusty bread. You can also learn how to dry your grains and create a “beer grain flour” that can be used much like whole wheat flour to enhance bread recipes, pizza dough or even desserts. If you are looking for something quick and simple there will be a recipe for adding a can of beer to simple ingredients to create a very tender, tasty loaf of bread in less than an hour. And, if you have a little bourbon around the house, there will be a recipe for a bourbon brownie with a bourbon flavored icing and drizzled chocolate.

NEW 2016 UPDATED CLASS REGISTRATION & CANCELLATION POLICY Cooking at the Cottage classes are a ticketed event, filled on a first-come basis and payment must be made at the time of registration. ONLINE registration is NOW AVAILABLE, can be done in person or by phoning the Cottage at (502) 893-6700 (no email requests honored). Payment is due at time of registration. We accept all major credit cards. If paying by Gift Card, please have your card, available since we will need the numbers printed on the back of the card. Please bring your card with you to class for redemption. If paying with a split payment (gift card & credit card) or using a store credit, you must call the store to register. REQUESTS FOR REFUNDS OR TRANSFERS MUST BE MADE SEVEN (7) FULL DAYS PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED CLASS. WE ARE SORRY BUT WE CANNOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS. Cooking classes are like tickets to a performance, concert or sporting event: the show must go on, so we encourage you to send a substitute if you are unable to attend. If you cannot attend class and can’t find a substitute, please let us know anytime during the 7-day period before class and if we are able to sell your seat(s) from a waiting list, we will issue you a store credit to be used for another class (not merchandise) during the next 12 months. Due to the availability of ingredients, sometimes the chef must substitute recipes in class or, because of time constraints, not every recipe scheduled is prepared. We will provide the class with a packet of written recipes but you are encouraged to make your own notes. All classes are held in our classroom at Cooking at the Cottage, unless otherwise noted. Participation in a Cooking at the Cottage hands-on class places you in a typical cooking environment with inherent risk. By registering for a Cooking at the Cottage event, you agree to release Cooking at the Cottage and its staff, employees and contractors, from all liability arising from direct or indirect damages or injury. We reserve the right to substitute instructors in a given class, if necessary. We want all of our students to have a great classroom experience so please arrive on time, keep talking to a minimum during class and silence your cell phone. You may wish to bring a sweater to class because the temperature in the classroom does vary. If we cancel a class due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances, you will be notified by phone or email as soon as the decision is made and a credit for another class will be issued. However, if we hold a class, there will be NO CREDITS or REFUNDS due to the weather, whether you attend or not. Don’t forget … all classes are held at Cooking at the Cottage, 3739 Lexington Rd., Louisville, KY 40207.

We look forward to seeing you in our kitchen!
