On Thursday, we’re hosting a special #DisneyMagicMoments: In the Kitchen video experience featuring a must-see cooking demonstration of popular Epcot dishes by Disney Chef Kevin Downing!
During the previously recorded livestream, Chef Kevin will be making magic in the kitchen with Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup and Filet of Beef with Roasted Mushrooms and Beurre Blanc. Both dishes are favorites at Le Cellier restaurant at Epcot and at this year’s Taste of Epcot International Food & Wine Festival.
The cooking demo begins here on the Disney Parks Blog at 5 p.m. ET on September 10, 2020. And today, we have an early peek at what’s to come:
If you’d like to follow along with Chef Kevin, we’re offering recipes for both favorite dishes. Download the soup recipe here , Filet of Beef recipe here – and grab your ingredients for a magical Disney cooking experience!
#DisneyMagicMoments: In The Kitchen is the first in a series of events inviting guests to enjoy the best of Disney both at our locations around the world and at home. Responses from groups who previewed Chef Kevin’s demo have been fantastic with comments like:
“For those of us that live far away and haven’t been able to get to Disney for months, this was a wonderful way to feel connected and look forward to our next trip – only 2 weeks away!”
“It was wonderful! I loved the way the class was set up and the detail from Chef Kevin was perfect! He explained every step of the process clearly and gave us many tips to prepare the food before cooking, storing it and if we chose to freeze the meal, how to handle it prior to reheating. It was a pleasure to listen and watch the presentation. I can’t wait to try the recipes this weekend!”
Check back here on the Disney Parks Blog on Sept. 10 at 5 p.m. ET and join us for some magic moments in the kitchen with Chef Kevin. See you on Thursday!
