Ever wonder what a professional chef cooks when he's at home? Chef Rich Garcia--winner of the James Beard Foundation's Boston Rising Star Chef Sustainability Award, star of the iPad app "Seafood Chef" and chef at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel--gave students a glimpse of what he likes to cook for dinner when he's not behind the line. On the menu for the evening: Smoked Haddock Deviled Eggs, Seared Archer Angus Grassfed Beef Rolls, Organic Mesclun Salad, Pollock a la Grandma, and Ice Cream Sandwiches. Below a video that gives you a flavor for the class; and you can check out photos from the class on Facebook.
