| Chef Jeff Michaud |
The tools and treats at Foster's Homewares can compel even the most minimal of cooks to gleefully hand over his AmEx. In addition to the shiniest KitchenAids and sharpest Japanese knives, Foster's hosts some of the region's newsiest chefs for demonstrations and classes.
On Thursday, June 25, Osteria executive chef and co-owner Jeff Michaud will demonstrate the pizza-making skills he first learned at age 13 at his hometown pizza shop in New Hampshire.� After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, Michaud worked at the Caribou Club in Aspen, Colorado. He came to Philadelphia to work as sous chef to chef Marc Vetri at Vetri, and later followed in his boss' footsteps by jetting off to Bergamo, Italy to further hone his craft.
Michaud's pizza has been acclaimed by every critic local and national with a taste for pie; most recently, Osteria made number 9 on Alan Richman's top 25 pizzas in the U.S. list for GQ. Michaud's two-hour Foster's 'demo will cover the basics of dough making and forming, baking pizza at home and sampling of pizza margherita, pizza tonno (tuna) and pizza capra e zucchini (white pizza with zucchini, ricotta cheese, and pesto).
The cost of the demonstration is $49 and you may register online here.
Jeff Michaud pizza-making demonstration, Thu., June 25, 5:45-7:45 p.m. at Foster's Homewares, 399 Market St., 215-925-0950, shopfosters.com
