Shoots and Sprouts - 2

Explore how to put abundant summer herbs to work in this hands-on workshop focused on fresh, flavorful cooking.

Participants will learn about various herbs while creating several dressings and spreads using seasonally abundant ingredients like basil, thyme, parsley, and oregano. We will use all of our senses to explore these herbs as we sample recipes and mingle in the teaching kitchen.

Each participant will take home three custom creations in canning jars—finished with a personalized decorative touch and recipes. We'll also send you on your way with a basil plant to keep your summer herb garden thriving. Bon Appétit!
