Chef Demos with Executive Chef Tom
At Plattduetsche Home Society, our Chef Demos are a crowd-favorite program—led by the talented and skillful Executive Chef Tom! These popular sessions offer residents a fun and flavorful experience centered around a culinary theme of the day.
Chef Tom not only takes resident requests—like chocolate, bread, or pasta—but explores different forms and creative takes on each theme. For example, during a homemade chocolate demo, residents enjoyed chocolate-dipped cookies, drizzled strawberries, handmade truffles, and more!
Participants watch the process, enjoy delicious samples, take treats home, and receive printed recipes to recreate the magic themselves. It’s interactive, educational, and always a sweet (or savory) time!
