When a chef is married to a chef, their kitchen is always the heart of the home. We invite you to join us in Jack and Lauren’s kitchen. The couple lives on the North Fork and are educators, passionate foodies and members of our Slow Food East End community: Lauren is one of our Flour Power volunteer bread bakers and Jack is an avid home gardener.
Many of you will recognize Jack Bishop as a leading food authority who is a host of the popular PBS show America’s Test Kitchen. Jack is also the Chief Creative Officer at both America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Country; this multimedia publishing company is a foodie think tank which has published recipes and tips across many platforms including print, broadcast and digital products. The company also produces Cook’s Illustrated and Cook’s Country magazines as well as America’s Test Kitchen books, three subscription-based websites, and an online cooking school as well as America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Country television shows. Whew!
Lauren Chattman, a former pastry chef, is also a well recognized expert in the kitchen. Lauren is a prolific author & co-author with 12 cookbooks published to date including Mom’s Big Book of Baking, The Gingerbread Architect, Cookie Swap! and Dessert University with former White House pastry chef Roland Mesnier.
On Sunday March 20 live via zoom, Lauren and Jack will demonstrate the preparation of a delicious slow food style menu. Lauren will take us through the steps of making fresh pasta using local eggs. Jack will share his kale pesto recipe that will be made from freshly-harvested local kale. To finish the meal Lauren & Jack will demonstrate yummy chocolate pots de crème, one of their favorite desert recipes. All demo recipes are from America’s Test Kitchen: The New Cooking School Cook Book (2021). Autographed copies of this book will be available for a few lucky registrants to win.
All ticket proceeds from this Chef Series will be donated and matched by SFEE to benefit, World Central Kitchen who are feeding Ukraine refugees in Europe.
