Autumn Chicken Dinner

Friday, October 11
$85.00

Join us for a cozy Autumn Chicken Dinner cooking class, where you’ll embrace seasonal flavors and culinary creativity! Start with a warm salad featuring roasted acorn squash, fresh spinach, parmesan, and crunchy pepitas—a perfect dish to capture the essence of fall. Next, you’ll learn to prepare a sweet potato and rosemary farroto topped with crispy frizzled leeks for a comforting twist on risotto. The star of the evening is a pan-roasted chicken leg quarter, beautifully presented with a French bone, complemented by glazed turnips and their vibrant greens. To finish the meal, treat yourself to a delightful upside-down apple pancake, embodying the sweetness of the season. This class is perfect for anyone looking to elevate their autumn cooking skills with delicious, seasonal dishes!
