International Picnic Online Cooking Class
When I think of summer, two things come to mind, community and travel. With summer fully here, one of the best ways I know to bring folks together is a good ol' fashioned picnic! For our upcoming cooking class, we will be blending the two with an international picnic cooking class.
The menu will consist of:
• Asian Slaw
• Italian Macaroni Salad
• Roasted Corn on the Cob with Chimichurri
• Sweet and Smoky Vegetable Skewers
• Rosewater Mint Melon Ball Skewers.
With a shopping list shared in advance, you can join me on Zoom and we will make the recipes together, at the same time. No time or option to cook during the class - feel welcome to join us to just watch the class and then you will have the recording and instructions to cook on your own at a later date.
