Match wine and food like an old pro: Summertime Cooking and Wine Class

Do you find yourself looking for things to do in Philadelphia – inside?

As summer wanes into the grueling hot days of August, why not invite your friends over for dinner where the air conditioning is cool, and pop the corks on a few bottles of wine? Seems like the perfect season. I know, I know, you think you don’t know anything about combining wine with the right food. The truth is you probably don’t.

That’s what you’re going to learn in the special cooking-and-wine class in the studio kitchen at Foster’s Homeware Saturday, August 9, 2008, from 5 pm to 7 pm.

That night, Keith Wallace, founder of the Wine School and accomplished former chef, will lead you through a menu of dishes that he will prepare right there before your very eyes. Brian Freedman, Keith’s colleague and director of wine education, will demonstrate the correct pairings of wine with the food to bring out the best in each. The best part is, well, who do you think is going to be consuming all that great stuff? You, if you sign up to go.

The August 9 class will take place at Foster’s Homeware, located at 399 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA.
