The Modern Breakfast

A hands-on cooking class culminating in a meal served with wine and beer.

In many home kitchens, breakfast is either ignored or commonplace. Yet Michelle McKenzie believes it -- as one of the first acts of our day -- should be something wholly satisfying and inspiring. 
The Modern Breakfast is a gesture of both self-care and exploration. It pulls on the early-morning traditions of many cuisines while adhering to the American values of health, beauty, and efficiency. It is creative yet familiar; and simple, yet special.

Flavors of France: Provence

A hands-on cooking class culminating in dinner served with wine.

Located in the South of France, Provence is widely known for its rolling hills of lavender, vineyards of celebrated rosé, and aromatic clusters of rosemary, thyme, oregano, and tarragon (herbes de Provence). Yet there is an unpretentious and practical side to the region, and such values can be seen in its delicious cuisine. Zoé McLaughlin will show us that food that is hearty and honest can be elegant, and simple can seem special.

Flavors of China

A hands-on cooking class culminating in dinner served with wine and beer.

In traditional Chinese households, food is consumed for both its taste and its therapeutic properties. In this very special course, Linda Tay Esposito will show us how to use some of the more “common” Chinese herbs, such as ginseng (for fortifying energy), melons (for cleansing), and fresh ginger (for “chasing” wind from the body). The art of Chinese healing foods is about balancing eneriges (yin and yang) while creating absolutely delicioius and satisfying meals.
