CMC’s Culinary Dinner goes virtual April 21

Take part in a live, online cooking class from the comfort of your kitchen

The Colorado Mountain College Culinary Institute dinner is back – with a twist. This year, the annual fundraising event, which supports the institute’s culinary apprentice program at CMC Breckenridge, will be held in your own kitchen.

Starting at 6 p.m. on April 21, Chef Kevin Clarke, CMC professor and director of culinary education, will host an online, in-home cooking class. Preparing a multi-course meal right along with Chef Clarke, participants will learn how to create a gourmet appetizer, main dish and dessert.

This year’s menu features scallops and aguachiles puree for the appetizer; a six-ounce River Bear beef tenderloin filet and truffle butter for the main course; and Felchlin Maracaibo chocolate tart for dessert.

Two options are available to join the virtual dinner. For $29 per person, participants will receive a list of required ingredients to purchase separately, recipes for the evening’s dinner and live access to a virtual cooking course with Chef Clarke the evening of the event.

For $100 per person, patrons will be able to access Chef Clarke’s virtual live instruction. They’ll also receive a pre-packaged box of specialty ingredients, including scallops, beef tenderloin and a pre-made chocolate dessert created by CMC culinary students.

Tickets for the $100 package need to be purchased by midnight on April 17; ingredients can be picked up from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. the day of the event, April 21, from CMC Breckenridge, 107 Denison Placer Road.

This year’s CMC Virtual Culinary Dinner is sponsored by Keystone Resort.
