Cooking Class

Sauces, Dressings, Marinades
July 25, 6-8:30pm

Just in time for summer salad and backyard barbecue season, Chef Ernie takes us on a journey South of the border for a small group class on sauces, dressings, and marinades inspired by the flavors of Mexico. Learn how to make a flavor-packed marinade whose leftovers can be turned into a sumptuous sauce for your dish. Use every day kitchen gadgets to whip up a mouth-watering vinaigrette that celebrates the bright colors and bright flavors of summer.

Kick off at 6:00 with a quick round of introductions then get hands-on in the Coltivare culinary lab in a fun and interactive class complete with tastings, takeaways and an adult beverage pairing. An ideal class for nature-loving foodies, couples, friends, and the outgoing solo cook looking to meet new people. No experience or expertise necessary.
