These are the sauces we personally return to again and again and wouldn’t want to be without! We’ll teach you make 1) cacio e peppe (cheese & pepper) – it’s a classic!; 2) a thick, rich meaty tomato sauce; 3)  “Desperado Sauce” (our own concoction that involves chicken, bacon, cream – a terrific trio, combined with parmesano/reggiano and garlic), and 4) a quick Last Resort Pasta that is our go-to when it seems like there is nothing in the kitchen. Become a pasta saucemaster with these four winning selections! REGISTER ONLINE

Jam & Jelly
June 24th (Saturday) 3:00-5:00 $45 per person
Becky Gray is affectionately known as “the jelly lady.” She began making jams and jellies when she was about 10 years old, helping in her grandma’s kitchen. Grandpa always wanted jelly or jam on the table for every meal. Over the decades, she has made thousands of jars and lots of different varieties – as many as 75 cases worth in a year! In this class, Becky will teach how to make blackberry jam and strawberry jam. Each participant will go home with two jars of their own – and tips, tricks, recipes Becky has developed over the last 60 years. Come “jam” with us!  And if you have blackberries or strawberries that are going to be ripe before that, stick them in the freezer so that in the days or weeks after the class you can make your own jam or jelly at home!  REGISTER ONLINE

Date Night Pasta Making
September 29th (Friday) 5:30-7:30 $45 per person
This is a fun thing to learn together!  Grab your loved one and plan to spend an enchanting evening learning about pasta making.  A little spaghetti, some linguine, and some raviolis, too!  Don’t miss the experience of learning how it’s done, seeing, feeling, participating in each step of the process. You’ll always be able to say “Yes, I’ve made pasta from scratch” once you attend this class. Fresh made pasta is a world apart from store bought. Each bite transports you to the heart of Italy. Join us as Jen leads an action-filled hands-on class where you will gain experience in each step of the pasta-making process. We’ll serve up the pasta with some tasty sauces and an antipasto platter.  You want to save room for the chocolate linguini with chocolate hazelnut sauce for desert!   REGISTER ONLINE
