Crafting Class
We offer a monthly Cooking Demonstration
and Tasting Night
By Request for groups of 6 to 12 people,
Advance sign up is required.
$10 per person.
We have decided to move this class to a by request only. This class can be for a minimum of 6 or if there is a request for a date, I can schedule it by the request for a small group and open it up for others to join. With our other two fun classes scheduled and the recipes we send out in our monthly newsletter, the participation for this class is not high enough for the cost and time involved,
so for now, it will be offered by request to make time for other fun things.
Each Tasting Night will feature recipes flavored and marinated with our delicious olive oil and balsamic vinegars. We will demonstrate how to prepare the dishes, share the featured recipes with you, and you will get to sample each of the recipes made. Dishes may include a main dish, side dish, desserts, or appetizer recipes.
Following the demo and sampling, you may also enjoy an after hours tasting of the nearly 50 oils and balsamics we carry. New purchases may be made the same night of the demo along with pre order pick ups. Please save refill requests for our regular walk in hours. Refill bottles require extra time and can be difficult to keep up with the number of guests in attendance on Recipe Demo nights.
Our recipe tasting and demo is a way for us to share our passion with you, try new things, and get together for a bit of tasty and social fun!
We hope you will enjoy our food & fun evenings! Join us soon!
