Located in the charming coastal town of Hampton, New Hampshire, the Victoria Inn offers a unique culinary adventure this fall with its Holiday Plated Appetizers experience. Far from typical outdoor adventures, this four-hour class immerses guests in the art of elevating seasonal ingredients into sophisticated dishes that perfectly match the crisp autumn air and cozy local spirit. Hampton’s rich New England backdrop—with its rocky shores and quaint streets—provides an inviting setting for this intimate cooking event that blends welcome warmth with culinary excitement.
The Holiday Plated Appetizers class highlights a carefully curated menu designed to impress and delight. Guests learn to prepare shrimp wrapped in prosciutto ham, accompanied by nut pesto and a vibrant red pepper coulis. This dish marries savory depth with fresh, lively flavors representative of fall’s harvest. The menu continues with sautéed wild mushrooms en croute—an homage to the region’s lush forest floors—and a refined chicken, artichoke, and red pepper mousse showcasing smooth techniques and bold combinations. The finale is an espresso-rubbed hanger steak served with horseradish crème fraîche, a pairing that awakens the palate and honors hearty seasonal fare.
