Overview
DATE NIGHT: WOOD FIRED FEAST
Friday, September 11th, 6 pm - 9 pm
Early September - the funny season between late summer and early fall - is the season of bright flavors, fresh herbs and ingredients that don’t need much to shine. And this class is all about learning how to bring them to life with heat, smoke and a little bit of confidence.
In this hands-on experience, we’ll cook a full seasonal meal using techniques that highlight what we love most about this time of year: roasting over fire, building bold sauces from unexpected ingredients, and creating dishes that feel rustic, elevated, and completely seasonal. Regardless of if you are working with a wood fire oven, hot charcoal in a grill, or an open firepit - you'll learn how to use the varying heat to your advantage and create flavorful and properly cooked food.
We’ll finish the evening with a fall-inspired apple dessert that’s as beautiful as it is delicious — the perfect ending to a meal that tastes like the perfect beginning of fall!
Each registration is for two people.
