Hedonist in Moderation 101

A hands-on cooking class culminating in a family style dinner with your fellow classmates, chatting over a glass of wine or beer.

Accidental and afterthought wellness. Eating really well, deeply deliciously, and yet very healthily.

Sassy flavors, exciting textures, and vibrant colors imbue this menu. Prepare for a dazzled palate and to be thoroughly nourished.
