Surprise your family and take your St. Patrick’s meal up a notch with these creative takes on the classic boiled dinner.  We will prepare a slow-baked, spice-crusted corned beef that is fall-apart tender and full of flavors like thyme, garlic, cumin and brown sugar.  We will stick to basics when we make carrots and cabbage (but with a surprise ingredient) and we will add smashed garlic roasted potatoes to round out the meal.  For the grand finale, let's make "soda bread" cupcakes topped with a homemade maple brown buttercream to end this fabulous take on traditional favorites. You will create a meal to impress any discerning leprechauns!

Have you ever dyed Easter Eggs? Have you thought about doing it without the little plastic bottles of food coloring? Chefs and artists of all ages can create natural dyes from plants like turmeric, beets, spinach and hibiscus. You will use those dyes as well as some other creative techniques and hacks to dye beautiful and edible Easter eggs. And you'll learn tips for applying the concepts of naturally colored dyes to other foods like pasta and baked goods. Since the dyed eggs are totally edible, you can turn some into a rainbow of deviled eggs, and display the rest. This class is part science, part nutrition and 100% art.

Menu includes: multi-colored hard boiled eggs and deviled eggs.

This class is suitable for families as well as adults, so everyone can join the fun!
