CAST IRON SUMMER
Saturday, June 21st, 6 pm
There’s nothing quite like the sizzle of a hot cast iron pan in summer—especially when it’s filled with peak-season ingredients. In this hands-on class, we’ll use cast iron skillets and griddles to build bold, craveable flavors with high heat, seasonal produce, and classic technique. We'll even teach you how to take care of your pan, so it's not an intimidating tool in your kitchen.
You’ll cook a hearty, flavor-packed menu from start to finish, learning how to master the art of cast iron cooking whether you’re at the stove, over coals, or on a grill. From searing the perfect steak to baking a bubbling fruit cobbler, this class is about building confidence with timeless tools—and leaving dinner feeling like a celebration.
