Chef Curtiss Hemm, who owns the Carriage House Cooking School in Peru, New York, was having a great year in 2020 when the pandemic hit and everything all but stopped for several months. While in-person classes have started up again, Chef Hemm has discovered Facebook & on-line classes as a safe way to reconnect.
We sat down with him in the kitchen of his cooking school at his farmhouse to talk about life after COVID. If you go to our website, you can watch more of our interview with Chef Curtiss and hear about a special evening coming up on Sunday, May 23rd. Mountain Lake PBS is hosting a live “Cook-In” which will be a virtual cooking lesson with Chef Curtiss. It begins with a cocktail, followed by a step-by-step live online cooking lesson to create a delicious 3-course gourmet meal. Watch that part of our interview and find out what’s on the menu.
