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.

Once you learn to make this beautiful braided yeast bread it may be the only bread recipe you’ll need.

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.
