JCCC Serves Up ‘Cooking with Class’

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. ­­– Johnson County Community College is now hosting a show, Cooking with Class, from 3-4 p.m. Monday and 8-9 p.m. Wednesday on cable television (channel 17 on Time Warner, channel 22 on Comcast and channel 17 on Everest).

All chefs are either JCCC graduates, JCCC faculty or supervising chefs for JCCC chef apprenticeships.

“JCCC has a strong culinary program, and it makes sense that we would teach skills the general public would like to learn,” said Lindy Robinson, assistant dean, Design and Hospitality. “We have asked local chefs to demonstrate classic culinary recipes that can be replicated in the home.”

Chefs are filmed in 15-minute segments so that four different segments appear each hour. Ten chefs have been filmed to date. Chefs and their recipes are:

  • Will Norem, sous chef, Hallbrook Country Club – Seared Tuna with Mango Sauce
  • Andrew Kneessy, chef, Kansas City Country Club – Risotto with Parmesan Cheese
  • Frank Willis, chef, Chi Omega, Kansas State University – Chocolate Covered Profiteroles
  • Michelle Quigley, chef, Sysco Food Distributors – Chilled Watermelon Soup
  • Russ Muehlberger, corporate chef, U.S. Foods – Smoked Salmon with Endive and Fennel Salad
  • Felix Sturmer, associate professor, JCCC – Freshly Made Mozzarella
  • Betsy Bell, former executive chef, Nordstrom Cafe –  Mixed Berry Tart
  • Jeff Troiloa, executive chef, Carriage Club – Parisienne Gnocchi
  • Gary Hild, executive chef, Unity Village – Lemon Basil Chicken with Toasted Barley Salad
  • Michael Turner, executive chef, Classic Cup – Sweet Basil Pesto

Nine more chefs will be filmed later in March for future segments. Demonstrations and recipes can be found at http://video.jccc.edu.
