While the turkey may be the star of the show on Thanksgiving day, these sides will certainly give it a run for its money.
Our Thanksgiving sides class is designed to please everyone in the family with dishes that are both omnivore and vegetarian friendly (or easily adaptable!) Join us as we prepare the following: tarragon and honey glazed carrots; cranberry sauce with Moroccan spices, citrus, and dried fruit; a wonderful fall salad with apples and house-made pickled onion; pan-seared butternut squash with feta cheese; savory bread pudding with sausage, spinach, and three cheeses; and of course, our olive oil and herb dinner rolls.
These are sides that you will truly be thankful for!

Drinks We are a BYOB kitchen. Water with citrus is provided for all classes and you are welcome to bring an alternative beverage to enjoy with your meal. Please be advised that we are not able to allow spirits and hard liquor in the kitchen.
Kitchen Attire All equipment, ingredients, and aprons are provided by us. As a safety consideration, we ask that you wear close-toed shoes. It's advisable to pull back long hair and to avoid wearing dangling jewelry.
Age Restrictions Daytime classes are for ages 15+ and our classes after 6pm are for ages 18+. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Check out our Parent and Me classes for ages 8-17. For safety purposes, kids under the age of 8 are not permitted in the kitchens.
Allergies As our menu-based classes are collaborative, altering the recipe for a particular aversion or allergy means that the other clients are not able to enjoy the dish as it is meant to be prepared. Since this is meant to be a fun learning environment, we strongly suggest that you select a menu that accommodates your particular allergies.
Please be advised that, in the case of severe nut or gluten allergies, we are not a nut-free nor gluten-free kitchen and cross contamination from other classes cannot be safely avoided.
