"I hope I can demonstrate the power of simplicity and restraint from adding too many ingredients that makes balancing a dish difficult. These, I believe are some of the biggest 'secrets' when cooking," says Gorji.
The star ingredient of the cooking class and dinner, the prime beef tenderloin, was recently praised in a Dallas Observer review as "one of the best in the metroplex." They continued on to say that Chef Gorji is "some kind of a meat genius... we sampled Gorji's mussels, scallops, duck, beef, boar, lamb and quail, and every single one was cooked flawlessly, with total understanding of each cut's identity."
Gorji's Unique Cuisine Called "Mediterranean With Texas Twists"
His use of local ingredients and unusual combinations such as pomegranates with steaks has lead some critics to coin the term "Mediterranean With Texas Twists" for his cuisine. Following the class, the participants will enjoy a three-course dinner of the dishes that were featured.
First Course:
Grilled and Chilled Avocado with Texas Chili and Yogurt
Second Course:
Smoked Salmon and Arugula Salad with Diced Egg, Compari Tomatoes, Red Onion and Lime Vinaigrette
Third Course:
Prime Petite Beef Tenderloin with Gnocchi Gorgonzola and Grilled Vegetables
Dinner is accompanied by big Pinot Noirs from Oregon and the Russian River Valley in California. Michael Merriman, Merriman Vineyards and Shasha Beard, certified sommelier with Pioneer Wines, will be available for questions and discussion.
