Public Class: A Whole Latke Love with Chef Matt Shapiro

Join us for an evening dedicated to the perfect latke. Learn step-by-step how to make crispy, golden potato latkes seasoned with onion and topped with an endless variety of accompaniments. Then go beyond the classic — fry up Sweet Potato Latkes, Zucchini Parmesan Latkes, and Beet Latkes topped with feta and dill. Round out the night with homemade crème fraîche and a quick, better-than-store-bought applesauce. 

What You'll Make & Take Home: 

• Make a variety of latke recipes with failsafe frying methods.
• Make and taste toppings from the classic sour cream and house-made applesauce to caviar, crème fraiche and dill. 
• Take home a jar of Gravenstein applesauce and a tub of house-made crème fraiche to top your future latkes.
