A LITTLE OVERVIEW. . .

Our dinner experiences are conducted at Good Stock Farm throughout the year by James Beard Award winning Chef Sanford (Sandy) and Angie D’Amato. Sandy has been cooking and teaching for 50+ years in New York City, France, Italy, and Mexico City and as a guest chef on European bike tours and international cruises. Along his Culinary Institute of America training, his cooking reflects ingredients and techniques from all over the world. Between 1991 and 2012, he conducted cooking classes at their two restaurants, Sanford Restaurant and Coquette Café, which they owned and operated for over 20 years in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Good Stock Farm opened in July of 2014 and these days Sandy and Angie are preparing multicourse dinners in their open kitchen. Although Sandy is French-trained, he cooks from his 1000+ repertoire of recipes and from his memoir with recipes, GOOD STOCK: Life on a Low Simmer. Angie is Sandy-trained in the Good Stock kitchen, after managing many years of their restaurant and bakery operations in Milwaukee.

WHAT IS A DINNER EXPERIENCE AT GOOD STOCK FARM?

We cook for you so you can sit back and relax! Begin the evening sipping sparkling cocktails and enjoying tasty hors d’oeuvre with fellow food lovers while Sandy prepares dinner for you in the Good Stock kitchen. Observe his skills throughout the evening and enjoy lively conversation about food, travel and everything under the sun. After Sandy reviews the menu with everyone, join Sandy and Angie at the family table for a 4-Course Seasonal Dinner along with hand-selected wine pairings. Conversation flows and Sandy’s always happy to share a cooking technique or tip along the way. It’s truly a perfect night to unplug and enjoy delicious dining and easy conversations with fellow food lovers! Approx. 4 hours
