Expand your cookie collection in time for the holidays with these crowd-pleasing recipes. We'll break into groups and get busy making four different varieties. Mary will explain why correct measurement of ingredients, as well as mixing, shaping, spacing, oven temperature, and oven position, are all important factors for cookie success. You'll discover a buttery twist on a classic with Brown Butter, Chocolate Chip, and Toffee Cookies, chewy Coconut Macaroons dipped in rich dark chocolate, Fig Pinwheels rich with warm spices and orange rind (not your store-bought Fig Newton!), and citrusy Lemon Love Knots.

With abundant variety and multiple uses in both sweet and savory dishes, apples are one of the stars of the autumn season. We couldn't let one of our seasonal favorites go by without making a traditional apple pie, and Mary's is simply the best we've ever tasted! Join us for this hands-on class where Mary will show you how to make her incredible All-Butter Crust and delicious Fresh Apple Filling. You'll learn how to choose the best combination of apples, resulting in the perfect balance of tart and sweet flavor; and why this combination results in a tender filling that holds its shape when sliced.

For the last 20 years, Megan Smith of St. Anne the Tart, has lived and spent much of her time in the hills and hollows of Eastern Kentucky as a writer and an advocate for the mountain arts community. Only recently did she discover the strong connection between Appalachia and Dayton—often referred to as the “end of the Hillbilly Highway”. In this class, we’ll explore some of the foods of Appalachia. From sorghum that comes from a hollow near Lillie Cornett Woods to shucky beans dried in Letcher County, we’ll not only get to taste unique ingredients to the region, but you’ll also learn how to recreate some of the most treasured, comforting recipes of the mountains right in your own home this holiday season.

Ahhh! there's nothing like the smell of a roast in the oven on a chilly autumn day. We all need this comforting menu in our busy lives. Enjoy a lazy Sunday afternoon relaxing at the dinner table with this cozy menu the family will enjoy making together.

If it's your turn for hosting Thanksgiving and you're a little (or a lot) apprehensive about getting everything on the table hot and delicious, this is the class for you.
