Spend The Night Cooking With Wiley

It’s no April Fools joke, on Thursday, April 1st, Meadowlark Chef and Owner will be sharing the recipes and demonstrating the techniques for “Seasonal Side Dishes.” As part of the Springboro Cooks’ Wares guest chef program, Wiley will lead a class on making healthy, surprising and boldly flavorful side dishes. On the class menu:

Capellini Al Limone – lemon, olive oil and Parmesan combine with delicate capellini for the best ever accompaniment for fish and seafood

Spicy Gong Bao Vegetables – garlic, ginger and amazing Sichuan peppercorns create an authentic vegetable stir-fry that bursts with flavor

Cauliflower Flan – An elegant side dish or first course using one of our favorite vegetables–the hit of our New Year’s Eve dinner

Spaghetti Squash Squared – 2 ways to fix this incredible, much misunderstood vegetable that is my current ingredient obsession

Broken Enchiladas – a pan saute of mushrooms, fresh corn tortillas, spicy tomato sauce and cheese that is the perfect thing with grilled beef

The class runs from 6:30 – 9pm and costs $40. For more information contact Cooks’ Wares at 937-748-4540 or register online. Cooks’ Ware is located at The Marketplace at Settler’s Walk, at 756 S Main Street ( also known as ST RT 741) about 4 miles south of the Dayton Mall.
