About:
Although the turkey is a must-have part of each and every family table during Thanksgiving, we can all agree that the side dishes are the stars who really steal the show. In our “Everything But The Turkey” class, we will be diving into the proper techniques, ingredients, and methods in creating a true home-cooked, from-scratch, Thanksgiving meal. Keep the cans of green beans in the closet. Keep the powdered potatoes in the back of the pantry. All of our recipes will be scratch made and your family will be most thankful come Thanksgiving. We will be touching on all of the classics as well as redefining and innovating some of them for the better! At the end of our class time, our chef takes over the kitchen. The guests return to the dining room and are served all of our amazing, homemade thanksgiving classics with a refreshing beverage. It doesn’t get any butter than this!
