Join Cookbook author Alexandra Stafford as she walks us through the basics of delicious hors d’oeuvre. \n  \nFinger food (with a perfect cocktail) should tantalize the taste buds and prepare the palate. And in some cases heavier appetizers can become a meal in themselves.

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. \nCancellation policy: We do not offer refunds on purchased tickets.

You’ll love Jenny and this special holiday decorating class! \nCancellation policy: We do not offer refunds on purchased tickets.

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. \nCancellation policy: We do not offer refunds on purchased tickets.
