Lake Placid – The AAA Four Diamond Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa, in conjunction with The View Restaurant and Carriage House Cooking School, presents a culinary weekend getaway from Oct. 30-Nov. 1. The weekend theme takes guests to Italy for the foods of Emilia-Romagna.
The region has long been considered Italy’s “food valley”. Executive Chef Curtiss Hemm, assisted by Dan Hurlbut, will make this a culinary experience long remembered. It will take place in The View Restaurant, overlooking Mirror Lake in Lake Placid.
The hotel and restaurant are the lone combination of Four Diamond lodging and dining in the Northern Adirondacks.
Chef Curtiss, the former Dean of Culinary Arts at the prestigious New England Culinary Institute, has long considered the Mirror Lake Inn the perfect venue for cooking classes and a focused culinary weekend.
He has been a guest chef and instructor with the Inn’s numerous Food and Wine Festivals and several special events. Hemm now serves as The View Restaurant’s Executive Chef and Food and Beverage Director.
“This weekend is all about celebrating the legendary foods of Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region,” said Hemm. “Along the way, we will be tasting the terroir of the Adirondacks and surrounding farmland.”
“Participants will enjoy the comforts and luxury of lodging at the Mirror Lake Inn along with multiple demonstration-style cooking classes, each designed so that participants can return home from Upstate New York, confident to replicate and share their learning experiences,” added Hemm.
Hotel rates start at $398.50 per person, per night, based on two participants per room, tax and gratuity additional (singles pricing is available). It includes two nights’ lodging, a meet and greet with light hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar, breakfast daily, dinner in The View Restaurant on the evening of your choice, as well as access to both of Chef Hemm’s culinary classes.
