Join Marge Perry, an award-winning cooking and health columnist, as she shares some of her favorite weeknight recipes, all with fewer than 400 calories. We'll make an array of clean, healthful weeknight dinner dishes such as: shakshuka with spinach and feta; herb-crusted salmon; filet mignon with garlic butter; chicken piccata; and black bean pumpkin soup.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.

What would Thanksgiving be without flaky, delicious pies? This class teaches you everything you need to know to craft glorious pies perfect for fall as well as the holiday table.

Choose from: classic pumpkin pie; apple-cranberry crumb; Southern pecan pie; and chess pie.
Knowing how to use knives skillfully is the foundation of all cooking, and doesn't have to be scary or frustrating. Many home and even professional cooks don't always wield a knife correctly, however, which increases food preparation time and makes the process harder --- and less safe --- than it should be. Simply put, good knives are the foundation of a well-equipped kitchen. This class remedies all these basic issues: You will learn how to slice, dice, chop, and much more in the safest and most efficient manner. This class will even guide you through the practice of keeping your knives sharp and handling them correctly.
That chill in the air is simply inspiration for the warming and original dishes you'll learn to make in this cooking workshop, centered around the exciting produce and flavors of fall. From soups and salads to sides and ribs, all of the dishes on this seasonal menu are perfect for family dinners, parties and more. We'll make and dine on: roasted butternut squash and apple soup; Guinness-braised short ribs with creamy polenta and roasted cipollini onions; and roasted Brussels sprouts with lemon and pancetta.
