FIVE CLASS: Pork Chop Steak with Creamy Mashed Potatoes
March 13, 2025 @ 6:00 – 8:30 p.m. CST

Discover the secret to perfectly cooked, restaurant-quality pork chops right in your own kitchen! In this class, we’ll be mastering the art of preparing delicious and incredibly moist pork chop steaks. We’ll learn the simple yet effective technique of pan-searing our chops to golden perfection before finishing them in the oven, ensuring an even juicier, more tender result every time. You’ll be amazed at the tenderness of the meat and how easy it is to achieve such impressive results. And to accompany our star dish, we’ll whip up a batch of decadent, creamy mashed potatoes that will melt in your mouth. This class will prove that there’s no need for processed seasonings in the kitchen when you can create such incredible flavor using simple ingredients.

Note: Suitable for vegetarians = substitute pork with super firm tofu.
