For the first time ever, the Milwaukee Public Market will be collaborating with Chef Adam Pawlak of Egg & Flour to launch a new cooking class series.

Chef Pawlak’s classes will feature a combination of pasta making, fine dining, and even dishes and tips from Pawlak’s experience as a contestant on the reality show, “Hell’s Kitchen.”

“I’m really looking forward to this opportunity,” notes Pawlak. “I love getting to work with people and share my love of food and cooking with all levels of culinary experience. These classes offer great opportunities for people to learn more about many aspects of food and how to create great, unique dining experiences at home.”

Reserve your spot

Each class is $45 per person and will take place in the Public Market’s second level “Madame Kuony’s Kitchen” from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. Each class will be followed by a Q&A session during which attendees can ask Pawlak more detailed questions. All classes include free parking in the Market lot, printed recipes and tastings of the dishes created.

Reservations for classes can be made online. Early registration is strongly encouraged, as the intimate classes are expected to sell out quickly.
