We’re taking a trip below the Mason-Dixon with this traditional southern menu. Tart green tomatoes are fried up in a crispy cornmeal crust and served with a tangy homemade buttermilk ranch. Next up, plump shrimp are dressed up with a Cajun sauce that has hints of smoky bacon and bright lemon. The shrimp are served over the creamiest grits, which is blended with nutty gruyere cheese. No southern table is complete without freshly baked warm cornbread spread with sweet and creamy honey butter. Instructor: Chef Tracey Carter. The class will be conducted in person on 164 Race street, Holyoke, MA.

This night, we are visiting Thailand, where the specialty is lightly prepared dishes with strong aromatic components and a spicy edge. Our Green Papaya Salad is a joining of thinly sliced green papaya and fresh vegetables then tossed with a punchy lime vinaigrette for a cool and refreshing experience. Chef Tracy’s Thai Grilled Chicken will first be marinated in garlic, lemongrass, and other Thai aromatics before being grilled whole over an open flame. To finish it off, we will prepare Sweet Coconut Sticky Rice with Ripe Mango. A trip you’ll never forget! The class will be conducted in person on 164 Race street, Holyoke, MA.

Freshly fried falafel and paired with a creamy tahini is always a major vegetarian hit! Bright and lemony tabouli salad is packed with fresh herbs and ripe tomatoes. For desert strawberries roasted with warm spices to bring out their natural sweetness are used top with cold creamy ice cream for an interesting contrast.

Just like grandma made! We will be re- creating this traditional Italian American menu from scratch. First up is homemade Caesar dressing to toss with crisp fresh hearts of Romaine and buttery hand torn croutons. Next we will make a robust meat sauce layered with pasta and creamy Bechamel sauce. What better way to end the meal then with almond scented sweet Italian cookies that anyone’s Noni would be proud to serve. Mangiare! Instructor Chef Tracy Carter.
