Holiday Hosting: Appetizers for Entertaining & a Seasonal Spritz
The best holiday gatherings begin with something delicious to pass around.
In this hands-on class, you’ll make three bold, crowd-pleasing appetizers designed to bring a little more confidence—and a lot more flavor—to your holiday hosting. We’ll work through recipes that balance savory, sweet, rich, bright, warm, and chilled elements, then talk through the small details that help an appetizer spread feel special when you bring it to the table.
Whether you are hosting friends and family, contributing to a gathering, or simply looking to add a few new favorites to your entertaining repertoire, you’ll leave with recipes worth making again.
After cooking in small groups, we’ll gather at our beautifully set communal table to enjoy the dishes together, along with a chef-prepared Cranberry-Lime Spritz with rosemary.
