Taste of Westchester: Peter Pratt’s Inn

673 Croton Heights Road, Yorktown Heights, 914-962-4090, www.prattsinn.com
Luau on the Patio – guest Master Chef-one night only! Join Jon Pratt (former owner) along with Eileen Zidi of Cabbage Hill Farm fame for this one-of-a-kind class! Jon sold his family business 5 years ago to a new generation of restaurateurs, Enver and Naya Pelinku. Graciously, they will host a special cooking demo with Chef Pratt and Enver on the Inn’s grand patio. The colonial homestead was built in 1780 and has been a local inn dating back to 1926 with a robust revolutionary history. Now renovated, it continues to be a special place to dine and drink. Watch our seasoned food educator as he prepares in real time our buffet Hawaiian luau. Hold the SPAM! Learn to make some Hawaiian staples starting with Shoyu chicken – soy sauce marinade, ginger and garlic with long rice and Poke (meaning to slice or cut), raw Ahi tuna fish and Asian seasonings. Try poi the traditional dish of the islands – made from the underground plant stem or corm of the taro (kalo) plant. Experience Kalua pig – made with pork butts and cooked in the La Caja China (translated “the Chinese box”), along with coleslaw and macaroni salad to compliment the crisp roasted pork and fried chicken buffet. Become educated on how to prepare Lomi Lomi (Hawaiian word for to knead or massage) salted salmon. A delicious traditional luau side dish, discover chicken long rice made with bean thread (cellophane) noodles. Jon always shares a story or two from his days in the inn. Learn to make a special summertime cocktail with pineapple and coconut. Optional bar, WCC specials on refreshing Sangria. Try their summer $10 cocktail Blue Hawaii – rum, vodka, blue Curaçao, pineapple juice, and sour mix. A taste of Haupia – coconut cake as a treat from this most entertaining chef. Rain or shine – held outdoors weather permitting. Always a fun summer favorite so sign up quickly to reserve your spot!
