Dairy Delights With Neil Kleinberg

On June 4, 2008 we continued our very successful series of cooking demonstrations with Dairy Delights, a class by renowned chef and baker Neil Kleinberg.  We now have a regular core group of participants in our classes, many of whom have returned time and again to enjoy a fun and educational evening at the Chasam Sopher Synagogue. 

Mr. Kleinberg and his wife Dede Lehan are the owners of two restaurants in New York City, including one a few doors down from the synagogue on Clinton Street.  He decided to “go kosher for the day,” and enjoyed an afternoon of preparation in the synagogue’s kitchen.  neil_kleinberg.jpg

Participants in the class enjoyed fresh lemon vanilla cheesecake served with a fresh mixed berry sauce, cheese blintzes served with caramelized applesauce and potato blintzes with caramelized onions and sour cream.  The buzz around the neighborhood on Shavuos was that many participants enjoyed making his delicious recipes for Yom Tov.  We were glad we were able to help everyone have such a delicious Holiday!
