Winter Solstice Feast

One of the ways that our head chef, Gracie, connects to food is through the season. During the darkest time of year, savoring the grounding, restorative, hearty flavors of winter brings her great joy and comfort. She hopes to share this seasonal ethos with students in this celebratory class. Students will also learn to set a seasonal table scape, design the lighting for the meal and curate a memorable evening of feasting, cooking and savoring the warmth of each others’ company. 

Students will learn to make a flakey, buttery, pie crust, a creamy, silky well seasoned soup, a deeply comforting classic dessert and a well balanced, tantalizing salad. There will be a large emphasis in this class on plating and presentation. Students will leave with a better understanding of how to create a breathtaking meal that is enjoyed immensely with the eyes before delighting the palate. Whether you are just looking for a lovely way to connect to your community, or a deeper understanding of seasonal produce and foundational cooking techniques, we know you’ll find what you seek in this class. So come, grab a warm mug of mulled wine and feast with us!
