Nearing the end of summer brings us to the "dog days". It's hot, sticky and we all need more beach time! This menu offers some new recipes and do-ahead preparation that makes all that possible!

This is a great menu for easy entertaining and we'll be using some of my favorite "southern" ingredients. We’ll make a really tasty salad of Baby Greens, Snow Peas, Asparagus and fresh strawberries with a Champagne Vinaigrette; Panéed Chicken with Pecan Meuniére Sauce and Seasoned Mashed Potatoes; a delicious and simple Key Lime Pie with Rum Chantilly cream for dessert.

GIRL'S NIGHT OUT WINE PAIRINGS CLASS
Wednesday, Aug. 29, 6 - 8 p.m.
Vicki McCain, Kitchenique Cooking School Director and
Kathy Fly-Bridges, Southern Wine & Spirits
$38
​

Please note our "wine pairings" classes are a bit different from our demonstration cooking classes in that a lot of time is spent on the wines and most of the dishes are prepared therefore there's not a lot of actual cooking during class.
Kathy and I decided it was time for some bubblies! What could be more perfect in this heat than some refreshingly light, crisp and flavorful sparkling wine and champagnes! And it’s a bubbly trip around the world with wines from California, France, Italy and Australia. We'll sample the Coppola Sofia ( the only champagne in a can with a straw for the beach!), Pol Remy Brut Rosé, Ruffino Prosecco and Innocent Bystander Moscato Frizzante. The menu will be summer "finger food" to compliment each wine.
