Tour A: Wolfgang Puck Café Cooking Demonstration and Lunch
Thursday, Oct. 8
11:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Cost: $130

Chef Wolfgang Puck is one of the most influential chef-restaurateurs in America. He is credited with reviving California’s rich and varied culinary heritage by blending fresh California ingredients and classical French training. Hosted at Wolfgang Puck Café, located at Downtown Disney West Side, this class is taught by Puck’s team of energetic Sous Chefs who have trained under Wolfgang’s direction since their opening in 1997. The class includes a brief history of the Wolfgang Puck culture, his “Live, Love, Eat” philosophy, and demonstrations of Wolfgang Puck signature dishes accompanied by lunch which will incorporate the dishes and recipes presented.

The first course offers an education on sushi, where you will learn the difference between Nigiri, Maki and Sashimi styles. You will be provided with some handy tips, from shopping to making great dressings, to use at home. Next, the Chefs will demonstrate how to make their unique, homemade Pumpkin Ravioli, discussing the importance of quality products and selection of ingredients needed for this dish. Now that you’re “fired” up, you will learn how to use a torch to caramelize the top of Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée, their sweet finish to this meal. In addition, you will discover how to dress it with an Almond Tuile and create clever fruit sauce designs. At the conclusion of the class, the Chefs will do a brief review of the demonstrations and provide a variety of helpful hints and tips as well as conduct a question and answer period. You will also receive recipe cards to try these dishes at home
