Cooking Class: Make Healthy and Elegant American Eats

Upgrade your dinner party menus with the refined-yet-healthy recipes found in this hands-on cooking class. Chef Dan will teach you a wealth of valuable culinary tips and techniques, including how to balance complex flavors and build wholesome, hearty dishes with fresh ingredients.


Start off with a bang as you make a tantalizing array of homemade spreads and dips, including spiced honey pistou, pickled vegetables, dirty martini chips and more. You'll want to include all of these on your next charcuterie board! Next, learn to expertly roast juicy chicken to be served in a smokey bourbon sauce.  Whip up a hearty seasonal salad featuring fresh corn, cucumber, cabbage and pistachios, and drizzle a homemade avocado dressing on top. End this class on a sweet note with a flaky fruit galette.
