Cooking with John Largess
Our first ever Celebrity Chef Cooking Zoom is coming up on Sunday, April 11, at 1:00 pm PT! You won’t want to miss Miró Quartet violist and chef extraordinaire John Largess as he entertains Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival’s online audience with a free livestream cooking class. John will teach us how to prepare that classic comfort food, Chicken Pot Pie. He’ll show us how to make its Rough Puff Pastry Crust from scratch, and he’s including a version for vegetarians.
John is an exquisite musician, and as anyone who has attended his lectures at past Orcas Island Chamber Music Festivals knows, he is also a fabulous speaker. Now you have the chance to enjoy his oratorical skills while learning to bake this classic!
John enjoys preparing sumptuous foods, especially French pastry and fine desserts. A true renaissance man, John has a background in Greek and Latin literature and graduated from Yale University with a degree in archaeology. He also studied at the Hebrew University in Israel and participated in archaeological excavations in Greece, Israel, and Jordan before returning to the viola and focusing on his chamber music career. John is a trained yoga instructor, having studied Vinyasa Power Yoga with Baron Baptiste. He also practices Kundalini, Bikram, and Astanga yoga styles, and teaches yoga in Austin, Texas, where he lives. When not standing on his head, he enjoys making his Tibetan singing bowl sing.
