Local chef to host luncheon
The Friends of Uniontown Public Library will welcome back Chef Jerry Krofcheck, owner of Fabrizi Italian Restaurant and Lounge, for its latest cooking class luncheon. Krofcheck will give a demonstration in the second-floor meeting rooms of the Uniontown Public Library, located at 24 Jefferson St., at 11 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 1.
The chef, who first appeared at the luncheons in April, will do a holiday-inspired demonstration.
“I’m trying to concentrate on using things from Thanksgiving, using leftovers,’ said Krofcheck. “I wanted to do turkey-stuffed ravioli. You can freeze them after you make them. Plus, I want to give safety tips for handling holiday food and reheating it.’
The holidays can be a tricky time for some cooks, who may be serving foods they don’t cook often – such as turkey or shellfish.
Krofcheck will try to answer questions and concerns from the audience and while he’s still considering what he will prepare, he does plan to do a pasta demonstration and is thinking of making pizzeles.
Christy Fusco, head librarian, said the cooking class luncheons have become very popular.
“We have a lot of folks who come and we have a good time. It’s just an extension of what we do at the library: offer people a chance to learn new things,’ she said.
Fusco added, “It’s great time to take a break from the pressures of the holidays and have some fun.’
Reservations still are being taken for this cooking class luncheon. For more information or to make a reservation, call the library at 724-437-1165.
