What You’ll Do

The flavors of the Greek isles meets the convenience of Midwestern cooking in this joyous interactive cooking class from Chef Mary Jane. She'll demonstrate the methods for assembling an authentically Mediterranean meal with decidedly domestic sensibilities! Your lesson begins with dolmas, delicious beef and rice wrapped in grape leaves, served with a traditional lemon- and egg-based sauce. Then, create your own crisp and tender falafel with a cooling tzatziki sauce, plus freshly baked pita bread to enjoy with it. You'll also prepare a refreshing salad topped with plump olives and garden veggies before baking layers of phyllo dough and golden honey into a delightful baklava for dessert.

REVIEWS
Outside reviews for Chef Mary Jane
Chef Mary Jane’s expertise in pasta-making shone through, as she patiently guided us through each step of the process. From mixing and kneading the dough to rolling it out and creating beautiful pasta shapes. I not only learned the art of making fettuccini, ravioli, and tortellini but also discover the magic of the roasted butternut squash filling. After the class I feel more confident in my pasta making skills.
