Couples' Class

We’re pleased Azra Kaurin is back with us for our fall term of classes. Charming, gracious, and extremely knowledgeable, Azra will share an authentic Central European menu with her recipe for Goulash with Homemade Croatian Pasta Fuzi, bringing to mind treasured memories of her grandmother’s kitchen. The salad is lovely with crisp Green Lettuces with Lemon, Olive Oil, and Fresh Herbs. For dessert, we’ll enjoy watching Azra’s expert technique for making Strudel Dough from scratch. (We have a long-enough island!) The Apple Filling will be a combination of the best local apples and warm spices. This menu will be paired with wine.

Join Azra Kaurin for one of the most beloved dishes of Hungarian cuisine. Chicken Paprikash is positively scrumptious with juicy, tender chicken smothered in a creamy sauce that's infused with the vibrant aroma and fruity flavor of Hungarian paprika. The dish is perfect with Azra's homemade Spätzle, egg noodle pasta with a dumpling-like texture, and will complete this traditional favorite. Hungarian Cucumber Salad will be a crisp, refreshing balance for the side accompaniment. And for dessert, authentic Hungarian Walnut-Chocolate Cake. This menu will be paired with wine.

Traditional European cookie recipes are a treasure to behold. Join Azra Kaurin for this special demonstration class where she’ll explain techniques and creative processes for making three of her favorite cookies. You’re welcome to gather around to watch closely. Nutty, rich, and tender German Linzer Cookies are filled with raspberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar. Slavic Kolachky, with a cream cheese dough, have a melt-in-your mouth consistency and are filled with one of three ingredients—apricot jam, poppyseed, or walnuts. Kourabiedes, Greek almond cookies, are buttery and rich with the addition of subtly sweet, fruity brandy. All of these cookies have unique flavors and different shapes for a beautiful presentation. Everyone will take home the recipes and a half-dozen of each cookie. Soup, sandwiches, and wine will also be served.
