2012 has been the Year of the Dinner Party, according to classy foodie web destination Tasting Table. The Andersons Market is ready to celebrate with two special cooking classes. On Tuesday, December 4, learn “Easy & Elegant Entertaining,” with a five-course menu featuring seared beef tournedos Messini, tomato and cheese puff pastry tartlets and more. And on Tuesday, December 11, learn to create a “Feast of the Southern Italians,” with Italian Vongole clam chowder, baked crab and shrimp soufflé, risotto cakes with ham & cheese and chicken caprese roulade. With two wine pours accompanying each session, the classes are “a steal,” according to chef de cuisine Saundra Irvine. “We always make it entertaining.”
