Everyone loves brunch! We'll create all of our “egg-y” favorites with recipes that are easily customizable to please any palate, including: mini crustless quiches, with optional additions such as smoked ham and gruyere cheese; double-dipped challah French toast topped with a poached orange syrup; spinach and artichoke egg casserole; and a roasted asparagus frittata that can be served warm or cold.  As an added treat, we’ll make homemade breakfast sausage that is so easy, it comes together in minutes and will impress anyone at your table.  Weekends will never be the same!

Dumplings provide another vehicle for anything that needs using up. For Earth Week, we’re cooking with what we have and kicking it off with creative dumplings. 

In this hands-on class, you will learn how to make dumpling dough from scratch (green and plain). You’ll then raid your fridge for an assortment of leftovers and ingredients that can be mixed into dumpling fillings. Chef Laura will walk you through how to prepare proteins and vegetables for optimal texture and pair condiments and seasonings for banging flavors. You’ll gain inspiration for future dumpling creations from your classmates.

We’ll roll out our dough, use store bought wrappers as well, and fill and shape dumplings in at least 4 different ways. Finally, you’ll learn how to steam and pan-fry your creative little flavor bundles. 

Note: Chef will also provide recipes for 3 classic Chinese dumpling fillings, but the live instruction will focus on creating flavor combinations of your own using on-hand ingredients. 

This class is suitable for families as well as adults, so everyone can join the fun!

There is some prep required. You’ll receive a detailed ingredients, materials and prep list at least 1 week in advance. You will have freezable leftovers!

One of Italy's most popular destinations, Bologna is known for Parmesan, lasagna, balsamic vinegar, and of course the famous Bolognese sauce. But you don't have to travel far to get a taste – Angela will show you how to bring the flavors of Bologna into your own kitchen! We'll kick off the meal with a classic Aperitivo Hour, the grandfather of the happy hour. Angela will prepare a cocktail along with a few nibbles, including warm, fresh ricotta made from scratch. The menu also includes: crostini medley (bite-sized toasts with various toppings), lasagna prepared two ways (one with classic Bolognese sauce and a vegetarian alternative), and for dessert, Angela's twist on a classic Zuppa Inglese –light and luscious layers of sponge cake and custard filled with fruit. Vegetarians are welcome. Buon Appetito!

The plants come first in these memorable vegetarian meals you can make all season long. They work as first courses too, but truly stand alone as hearty, complete and creative meals for vegetarians or those just trying to reduce their meat intake. In this class, you’ll discuss how to center meal planning around plants, how to prepare and season vegetables properly, how to use beans and legumes for maximum health benefits, and how to get the most bang out of your spice rack. We will also share our favorite vegetarian recipes with each other so you’ll not only learn the adaptable recipes in this class, but you’ll walk away with a bundle of ideas for the next few months.

Special equipment: a food processor and/or a blender or vitamix is highly recommended for this class.

• Wine Braised Mushrooms* with Creamy Polenta and Favas or Peas

• One Pot Kale Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe

Recipes can be adapted to be vegan friendly.
