We know Bourbon makes wonderful cocktails, but it's also an excellent ingredient for many savory and sweet recipes. From marinades, sauces, and rubs to deglazing, the rich flavor notes of caramel and toasty-smoke enhance savory dishes. The vanilla, honeyed, sweet notes, however, make it perfect for adding to desserts. Join Susie and Iván Núñez to learn how to elevate your cooking with this barrel-aged libation. You'll enjoy Honey Bourbon Chicken Pops, Celeriac Slaw, Bourbon-Glazed Carrots, Honey-Bourbon-Glazed Ham, and Mint Bourbon Brownies. This menu will be paired with wine.

Hands-On Couples' Class

Once you learn to make this beautiful braided yeast bread it may be the only bread recipe you’ll need. Warm from the oven with its golden crust, challah is an indulgence; however, its fluffy texture and subtle sweetness makes it the perfect bread for incredible dishes like French toast, grilled sandwiches, and bread casseroles. Join John Chico for instruction and pointers for making this show-stopping bread from scratch. You’ll learn to mix the dough, how to proof, braid, and bake it. Each couple will take their loaf home to enjoy. We’ll have bread made ahead to enjoy with a delicious brunchy meal, including sparking wine.

Hands-On Class

This pure dessert bliss is well worth the effort of making from scratch. You’ll learn to make Cannoli Dough, how to roll and fry it to a crispy texture, and fill it with an irresistible Sweet Ricotta Filling. Mary Cooney will teach you how to get the perfect consistency of the cannoli filling, and (when) and how to fill the shells. We’ll also make another Italian favorite, Tiramisù, a creamy dessert of espresso-soaked ladyfingers surrounded by Italian Pastry Cream with shaved chocolate. This is a great make-ahead stunner.

The Champagne region of France isn’t the only place you'll find delicious sparkling wines!
