This month join Mountain Town Olive Oil and Chef Deanna Fitchat, chef and owner of DeeLicious Park City, a private chef and catering company, for a demonstration cooking class series called The Next Course. The Next Course is a tasting class with optional wine pairing, offered weekly, beginning on Thursday, March 11.
Hosted in Mountain Town Olive Oil‘s beautiful event space located on Historic Main Street, you will observe and learn new and different ways to use olive oils, vinegars, and spice mixtures, as well as receive helpful recipe hints.
The class is made for all cooking levels, to give people a little more courage in the kitchen. You can have zero knowledge or be a super foodie, and you’ll still get something out of this.

In each two hour class, you will learn to make five different recipes from appetizers, to main dishes, and desserts. And with each taste, you will experience a flavor profile unique to Mountain Towns Olive Oil‘s homemade products. Learn to use the flavors of Herbs de Provence, garlic, Tuscan herb, and Meyer lemon olive oils, and specialty vinegars like Sicilian lavender, black currant, cranberry and pear, and vanilla. Take home each recipe along with a small gift of products, and receive a 15 percent off discount to shop in the store, too.
I try to incorporate an olive oil, vinegar, and spice mixture into each dish. By the time you’re done you end up with a shopping list of new flavors to use.

Jessica McClearly, owner of Mountain Town Olive Oil and accredited Italian and French Wine Scholar, offers suggestions and wine pairings for each recipe. All wines are available in Utah and priced within the $20 range, making any favorites accessible for future at home dining. Next Thursday’s class, Flavors of Provence, will include wines from the South of France. The perfect complement to regional dishes like ratatouille, nicoise salad, artichoke barigoule, Provencal roast chicken, and pear tarte tatin with vanilla, lavender and honey.
Different foods call for different types of wine. And we try to create regional menus because what grows together, goes together.
