Virtual Thanksgiving Crash Course

Join us virtually from the comfort of your own home for our most popular and comprehensive Thanksgiving cooking class. In this demonstration class, our chef will cook the entire menu in real time while teaching you the timing, tricks, and classic recipes to ensure your success from your first-time cooking Thanksgiving to
your fiftieth. You’ll be able to hear and see everything the chef is doing in class, but also have the opportunity to ask questions in Zoom through the chat pane with the help of our moderator. If you need a refresher after the class, you’ll have access to the video recording for 1 week so you can review the skills covered. Upon signup, you will receive a complete packet with well-tested recipes, shopping lists, and a clear timeline to get all that cooking done! Due to the length of this class, we will break for 30-minutes half way through the class.
