Belgian Winter Dinner: Chicken Stew & Liege Waffles

Description

Step into the heart of Belgian cuisine with this hands-on cooking class, where you’ll learn to prepare Waterzooi, a comforting and elegant chicken stew from the Ghent region of Flanders in Belgium. Known for its creamy broth, tender chicken, and delicately simmered vegetables and leeks, Waterzooi blends rustic tradition with refined flavor.

In this class, you will:

  • Discover the history and cultural significance of Waterzooi
  • Learn proper techniques for poaching chicken to retain flavor and tenderness
  • Create the signature velvety broth enriched with eggs and cream.
  • Balance seasonal vegetables and fresh herbs for an authentic taste

While in Belgium, don’t forget the waffles!! We’ll be making Liège waffles — the irresistibly chewy, caramelized Belgian waffles made with pearl sugar. Unlike the lighter Brussels waffle, these beauties are rich, buttery, and have a delightful chew with every bite. To take things over the top, we’ll whip up a silky chocolate cream for dipping, drizzling, or spooning straight on top.

This class is for the beer lovers – because what’s better with Belgian cuisine! BYOB!

*The ticket is on per person basis* No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets in case you wish to recreate the dish on your own after the class. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing). When we say small size, we mean it. This class will host only up to two people at a time so if you are coming as a couple, you will be the only group present and receive Chef Mark's undivided attention and advice during the experience.
