A course in condiments in Beaver Creek

VAIL, Colorado – Just in time for the holiday entertaining season, Chef Pascal Coudouy will host a condiment preparation demonstration on Friday from 5 to 7 p.m in the private dining room of 8100 Mountainside Bar & Grill at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek. Guests are invited to watch as 8100’s acclaimed Executive Chef demonstrates how to prepare homemade condiments such as ketchup, mayonnaise, aioli, ranch dressing, barbecue sauce and cocktail sauce. The cost is $10 and includes food and wine tastings during the demonstration and a sample of one of Chef Coudouy’s homemade condiments to take home.”Sauces and other accoutrements are actually quite easy to prepare and don’t contain all the preservatives that store-bought condiments do,” says Chef Pascal Coudouy. “This evening will introduce guests to the techniques that will allow them to prepare these condiments in their own kitchens.” Following the demonstration, guests can enjoy the farm to table menu at 8100 Mountainside Bar & Grill, receiving 25 percent off (not including tax and tip) their entire bill. Additionally, diners who spend $100 (not including tax and tip) will receive a $25 gift card for their next visit to 8100 Mountainside Bar & Grill.
