Holiday Spice

Join us as we make flavorful holiday gifts from scratch and enjoy some aromatic snacks and spiced chai (or wine) while we cook. This is a great date night class. Meet a friend after work, cook together and leave with edible proof of what you learnt! Get into the holiday spirit as you whip up your own spice blends and preserves to gift to your favorite foodies. You will learn how to blend different spices into unique “masalas” and fresh condiments that you can use with Indian and Western meals. Take away 5 gift tins of masala and 5 jars of condiments (cilantro chutney, fresh mango pickle, etc) as well as recipe-card gift tags and a folder of the recipes you made.
