The Perfect Omelet

$40

with John E. Finn

Calendar Next available session starts Apr 5, 2024 at 9:30 am
1 additional session on Apr 6, 2024

Let's learn the secrets to making a perfect omelet! Students will learn how to make three kinds of omelets; a classic French Omelette au nature, an American Diner omelet, and a perfect frittata.  Because each omelet involves a different technique, they are the key to developing the skills and confidence necessary for students to discover the true secret to making their own perfect omelet - or at least, a tasty one. 

John Finn, a resident of Corea, is a professionally trained chef and Professor Emeritus of Government at Wesleyan University. He is also the author of The Perfect Omelet: Essential Recipes for the Home Cook.
