Delectable Appetizers with Alexandra Stafford

A great cocktail party is the ideal way to entertain at home for the holidays and beyond, and in this demonstration class you’ll learn classic appetizers to put your party over the top. Join Cookbook author Alexandra Stafford as she demonstrates the basics of delicious hors d’oeuvre.

Finger food (with a perfect cocktail) should tantalize the taste buds and prepare the palate. And occasionally, heavier appetizers can become a meal in themselves. Alexandra’s selection of go-to appetizers checks all the boxes from simply savory to oh-so-satisfying.

Menu to include:

• Sweet and Salty Candied Pepitas
• Three-Seed Homemade Crackers + How to Assemble a Cheese Board
• Crudité with green goddess dressing
• Roasted Beet-Labneh Dip with Lavash Crackers
• Baked Fontina with Rosemary and Thyme
• Chicken Liver Pate
• Endive spears with Pear, Blue Cheese, and Shallot Vinaigrette
• Crostini with homemade ricotta and thyme-roasted grapes

This demonstration class is limited to 12 people.

About Alexandra Stafford:

Ali Stafford, author of the hit food blog “Alexandra’s Kitchen”(www.alexandracooks.com), grew up eating her mother’s peasant bread at nearly every meal—the recipe for which was a closely guarded family secret. When her website began to grow in popularity, readers began asking how to make the bread they’d heard so much about. Alexandra’s mother acquiesced, and the recipe got shared, and has since inspired many who had deemed bread-baking an impossibility to give it a try, and their results have exceeded expectations. It all led to Ali’s recent cookbook, “Bread Toast Crumb,” praised by the world’s top-selling baking-book authors including Dorie Greenspan and David Lebovitz. Ali is also a columnist for Food52.com.
