Participants will pick up the fully sealed food ingredients (provided by Harmons Grocery) in custom totes October 7- 8 between 10 a.m.-6 p.m. at The Monarch, at 455 25th Street in Ogden.
Then participants will tune in online that Friday evening and let Chef Price walk them through step-by-step virtually (live stream) as they prepare their gourmet meal for two at home. The menu includes Roasted Acorn Squash with Maple, Pepitas, Cider Vinegar; Ricotta Gnocchi with Crispy Prosciutto, Sage Butter; and Basque Cheesecake with Figs and Balsamic.
Brandon’s resume includes executive chef at Cafe Trio and chef/partner at Oak Wood Fire Kitchen and Dirty Bird Chicken.
Jennifer Burns, long-time local TV cooking host and on-air personality, will keep the event upbeat for an enjoyable date night or girl’s night in.
A live art auction, along with a raffle and giveaways will take place throughout the hour-long broadcast. Participants can interact and ask questions in real time to be answered during the live stream.
