Pork is the juiciest, most succulent of the meats, encased in pearlescent fat and dripping with flavor. Our Head Chef, Gracie, spent the first twenty years of her life without ever having eaten a bite of pork. Her first experience eating pork occurred in Italy with a slice of 2-year-aged prosciutto, and in that moment, an obsession began. Where had this gorgeous animal been her whole life, and how could she possibly make up for all of that time?? She decided to become a butcher, eventually raised her own heritage pigs, and now spends much of her time exalting the wonders of swine.

In this class, students will learn to carefully and lovingly prepare four different cuts of pork utilizing four different techniques. The ribs will be dry rubbed, slow roasted and then broiled. The tenderloin will be wrapped in fatty pancetta and seared and roasted to perfection. The loin chops will be dry rubbed and carefully cooked on cast iron pans and the shoulder will be pressure cooked until it’s falling apart and then tossed in a tangy barbeque sauce. Hear ye, swine lovers, this one’s for you!
