Celebrity Chef Jehan S. deNoüe Demonstrates Healthy Holiday Cooking on Stage at The Ridgefield Playhouse

Ridgefield, CT, December 01, 2007 --(PR.com)-- The Thanksgiving turkey has been put to rest . . . along with the stuffing, creamed onions and pumpkin pie. So, what’s for dinner over the coming holidays? How about something different, something more on the light side, something as pleasing to the eye as it is to the heart. Ponder no more—merely come and see Chef Jehan S. deNoüe, who has appeared on NBC, CBS and ABC, as he conjures up a meal fit for the most discerning diner as part of the Danbury Hospital Living Well Series at The Ridgefield Playhouse on Tuesday, December 11 at 7:30 p.m. This delectable annual Healthy Holiday Cooking demonstration live on the stage of the Playhouse, with a tasting for all, is sponsored in part by Albano Appliance & Service LLC in Pound Ridge. A special wine pairing for each course will accompany the demonstration.

You have been wondering what’s for dessert, haven’t you? First off are the tomato confit tarts and the carrot butternut squash soup with a smattering of ginger. As the entrée, Chef Jehan will present baked sea bass with a soy glaze—definitely delicious and definitely good for you. And, for dessert—a delightful combination of celebration and taste—champagne melon soup. Don’t be deceived, this is not your everyday open-a-can-and-pour-out-the-contents soup, rather this is a rather rich flavorsome soup that gets its sweetness from a generous dollop of honey. How to serve it you ask? Come and see.

Jehan deNoüe, Albano Appliance resident chef, is a superb chef, but, just as important, he is a master of the kitchen and as such has all the answers (well, most of them), so come prepared to ask about him your cooking questions as well as to sample his cooking. Chef Jehan deNoüe was owner of the restaurant Chez Noüe in Ridgefield.
