Join us for this soul-satisfying, rib-sticking and truly yummy class of Comfort Food Casserole Pies. Even the name is soothing and the variety of flavors will chase away the mid-winter blues. THREE main dishes will be made in this demonstration class and all three are perfect for families and casual entertaining during these cold months. We’ll also discuss how the recipes can be adjusted to suit your own preferences. Want beef or chicken instead of vegetarian chili? No problem. Would you prefer to use pork or perhaps grilled veggies for a vegetarian option in the Tamale Pie? Easy! Join Miriam in our Hudson Valley/Berkshires kitchen for this perfect winter class.
You’ll leave the class full and warm and armed with the great recipes you can create at home for loved ones or even tuck into your freezer for a snowy day.
This demonstration class (plus lunch!) is limited to ten people.
