On Monday, May 20, Geja’s Cafe, 340 W. Armitage Ave., will tell all to participants of the first-ever “Secrets of Fondue” cooking class. Led by general manager Nancy Firth, this informative class will be modeled after Geja’s popular and long-running “Wine Maker Dinner” series. “People call frequently asking for recipes and help with their home fondue sets, so we thought we’d offer hands-on instruction,” says Firth.
Participants will cook along as each of the four courses is demonstrated and tips for shopping, preparation and variation will be discussed. The featured entree for this class will be The International, which includes salad, cheese fondue, an entree of beef tenderloin, jumbo shrimp and boneless, skinless breast of chicken, and of course includes chocolate dessert fondue. Each course will be complimented by a glass of specially selected wine from Geja’s extensive list.
The cost for the “Secrets of Fondue” class is $48, which covers the class, meal, wines, tax and gratuity. The two-hour class will begin at 6 p.m. For reservations, call (773) 281-9101 or visit www.gejas.com.
