Sugar & Spice: An Herbal Holiday Kitchen

 The aroma, taste, and visual delight of herbs can transform any holiday table. In this festive, hands-on class, you’ll make three delicious creations to enjoy or share: a rich herbal butter for seasonal meals, a custom salt rub to elevate your cooking, and a sparkling sugar rim perfect for holiday cocktails. Handouts will include recipes and ideas for additional blends so your celebrations can be filled with flavor all season long.
