Taste of Westchester: AJ’s Burgers

542 North Avenue, New Rochelle, 914-235-3009, www.AJsBurgers.com
Makin’ Mozzarella! Repeatedly voted Best NY Burger, this local hot spot continues to serve up some delicious food and not just burgers. Chef Alan Cohen will fill your plate and mind with his knowledge of food made with great ingredients. Chef has a flare for being creative by executing classic Italian dishes that become unforgettable. AJ will teach us to easily make our own mozzarella from fresh curd to sample while warm. We use it to make the most delicious lighter version of an open face, baked spiedini. Their bread is made fresh daily and chef uses it and the fresh mozzarella adorned with an anchovy, caper, lemon sauce. Taste a mini burger topped with melted mozzarella, arugula and roasted baby tomatoes. Finish our lesson with a torched mozzarella “brulee” with lemon whipped cream and ice cream drizzled with EVOO. AJ is full of surprises and shares a taste of the special of the day. Great catering for your next event or holiday. Always a terrific small class, up close and personal, with a top-notch instructor and a repeated favorite class!
Cost is $25 (+ $25 sampling fee in CASH, payable to instructor).
