Cooking with Steve: Spring Celebration
We are pleased to announce another live-streamed cooking class featuring Otis chef Steve Sprague. The class is live-streamed via zoom from a residential kitchen here in Lincoln County. You can ask questions in the moment, and cook along at home. Or, relax and just watch this spectacular spring meal come together.
To celebrate Oregon Coast Community College’s 36th birthday on May 19 (the class is held the evening of May 18), Chef Steve will prepare a spring meal with a beach party theme. Details will be emailed to registrants once a menu is finalized, but for now, Chef says:
“I’m visualizing something Caribbean themed. Perhaps something like Jamaican jerk chicken, shrimp, or fish, coconut rice with spring peas, and a tropical fruit upside down cake — in which we can stick the OCCC birthday candles! Maybe some fried plantains for good measure?”
