🌄🍽️ An Appalachian Feast: A Cozy Culinary Celebration 🍽️🌄
Step into our warm, cozy, and inviting kitchen and take a delicious journey through the heart of Appalachia! This hands-on cooking experience celebrates the comforting flavors, rustic traditions, and soulful spirit of mountain cooking—with a touch of modern flair.
Imagine the aroma of sizzling cast iron, the warmth of open-fire flavors, and recipes passed down through generations—all reimagined for today’s kitchen. Under the guidance of Chef John Alunni, you’ll explore the heritage of Appalachian cuisine, crafting hearty dishes that are as rich in story as they are in flavor.
🍴 Menu Highlights
🥞 Savory Cast Iron Hoe Cakes – Golden and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. These classic Southern cornmeal cakes are cooked to perfection in a sizzling cast iron skillet and topped with butter and honey.
🥩 Hanger Steak with Potato Dumplings, Smokey Collards & Wild Mushroom Gravy – A hearty and elegant centerpiece that perfectly balances comfort and sophistication.
🥕 Fire-Roasted Carrots – Sweet, smoky, and kissed with a touch of mountain charm.
🍍 Cast Iron Pineapple Upside-Down Cake – Caramelized, buttery, and bursting with tangy sweetness for the perfect finale.
🍁 Cocktail Special: Local Moonshine Sippers
This class is more than a cooking experience—it’s a celebration of connection, creativity, and Appalachian hospitality. Come ready to cook, share, and savor every moment around the table. ❤️
