Easy Entertaining with End-of-Summer Produce, with Justin Chapple

Summer might feel like it’s nearing to an end, but it doesn’t need to. September is one of the best months of the year for fresh, local produce. In fact, some of the most iconic summer ingredients—tomatoes, corn, and melons—can take much longer to ripen than one might think, which means late-summer harvests are often the most delicious.

Justin Chapple—Culinary Director of Food & Wine and author of Just Cook It!—will share his best recipes for easy entertaining with end-of-summer produce and demonstrate some of his signature time-saving tips and hacks for prepping ingredients so that cooking is easier and more fun.

Menu to include:

• Cucumber & Mint “Fauxjito”
• Modern crudités with Butter Bean & Hearts of Palm Dip
• Mexican-Style Street Corn with Lime Mayo
• Spicy Melon & Heirloom Tomato Salad
• Butter-Basted Scallops with Charred Corn and Watercress

This demonstration class limited to just 12 people.
