## Description

Chef Tim McCusker hails from Ireland. He specializes in Pacific Rim cuisine, however, his culinary influences range from Irish to Cajun, Asian, Caribbean, and Low Country cooking styles. In "Cooking Basics" Chef McCusker will teach you how to choose the right knives and kitchen tools, the correct way to dice, chop and julienne vegetables, and how to make a New Orleans Trinity and a bechamel - which are the bases to several soups and sauces. In "Pacific Rim Cuisine", Chef McCusker will teach you how to create an exotic and delicious 'Pacific Rim' style meal. You'll learn how to prepare an Asian Pear Salad, a walnut-encrusted Walu Hawaiian fish, and a strawberry and pear flambe served in a coconut bowl. In "Progressive American Cuisine", you will learn how to prepare a classic Crab Salad, an appetizer of Sauteed Scallops, a tremendously tender New York Strip and a Frozen Mango Parfait, all under the clear direction of Chef Kramer.
