Classes this week. When you think of pairing wine and a meal, you may think of Italian or French cuisine. But what wines do you pair with contemporary Asian fare? Carlow Cookery is leading a Contemporary Asian Food & Wine Class tonight, Wednesday, February 4 from 7 to 8 pm. The is part wine pairing class, part cooking demonstration, and will cover red and white wines paired with a range of rice, seafood and meat dishes.
Some sauces take hours to make, but pan sauces are fairly quick and super rich in flavor.

On the menu: sauteed fish in a citrus buerre blanc, pan-seared chicken in a mushroom demi-glace sauce, tender pork in a port, tart cherry and caramelized onion sauce, and baked pasta with a crab mornay sauce.
