Join Us in the Kitchen!
Our hands-on classes and workshops are designed for everyone—from curious beginners to seasoned cooks—so you can learn new skills, try fun recipes, and leave feeling confident and inspired.
Knifework 101: Everything You Need to Get Started
This knife skills workshop is less “culinary school boot camp” and more “let’s get you to stop fearing butternut squash.” We’ll cover the fundamentals like how to hold a knife without looking like you’re diffusing a bomb, how to use your non-dominant hand (claw grip!!), and how to break down the vegetables you’ve been avoiding. Yes, even onions. Especially onions.
We’ll talk about the knives you actually need (probably fewer than you own), how to keep them sharp, and why a sharp knife is safer than the dull one rattling around in your drawer. Expect a lot of hands-on practice and the kind of confidence that makes weeknight cooking feel less like a chore and more like a flex. Class will end with turning your knife work into a meal kit to make dinner at home!
Knifework 102: Chicken Butchery
This is a class about breaking down a chicken without breaking down yourself.
We’ll take two whole, beautiful birds and turn them into dinner for the week. Nothing wasted, nothing overly fussy, no weird chef-y flexes. Just you, a sharp knife, and the confidence that comes from knowing exactly what you’re doing.
We’ll talk about:
Choosing the perfect knife for the task at hand.
Why whole chickens are cheaper and better (yes, both).
Where to actually cut (hint: not through bone).
How to render chicken fat and save bones for chicken stock like the thrifty genius you are.
By the end of class, you’ll look at those shrink-wrapped parts at the store and think, “Cute, but I’ve got this.”
Pasta 101: Egg Noodles
In this class we’ll begin to explore our absolute favorite food: pasta! We’ll dig into the fundamentals of pasta making: ingredients and their purpose, the tools you do (and don’t!) need, the science behind gluten structure, and the reasoning behind choosing different pasta shapes for different pasta sauces.
Students will make their own pasta dough and roll it into sheets before cutting into noodles. Everyone will go home with the noodles they made, as well as a jar of our favorite tomato sauce.
Girl Scout Cookies & Cheese Pairing
Join the incredible Kara McGrath of Paste & Rind Join as we celebrate the best season, GIRL SCOUT COOKIE SEASON, in the only way we know how...with cheese of course! Kara McGrath of Paste & Rind will take us through 4 perfect pairings of classic Girl Scout Cookies and their cheese match! Class will last around 75 minutes, covering both tasting and conversational instruction.
Culinary Botany: Flowers
Flowers don’t generally make up an entire meal, but they are absolutely essential to almost every plate of food. As we welcome the flowers of spring we will look at the botany of flowers, focusing not only on the showy ones, but also the ones that come and go without most people even noticing, such as maple, elm, and oak flowers. Flowers are one of the main ways in which plants manipulate animals into carrying out vital services for them, and if you know what to look for you can guess how a flower is pollinated. We will look at the different parts of the flower and how they contribute to its function and to the life cycle of flowering plants, and talk about how plants that do not flower manage to reproduce.
