So what are the Courageous Cooking Sessions?
One-off, bespoke experiences built to inspire creativity and skills in the kitchen! For you, your family/friends, or your team!
Virtually connect with your people, and share your love of cooking together during this time of physical distancing. Get together, reconnect with your social circle, and cultivate nourishing experiences from afar.
All of the workshops we offer are available one-on-one, in small groups, or for larger virtual gatherings (such as corporate virtual meetings, retreats, etc).
You and your people can ask all the questions your heart desires. With ZERO judgement.
Our mission? To access you inner courageous cook, one lesson at a time. Also? Who doesn't want to cook virtually in such a marvelous, and historic kitchen during a global pandemic AND protect some history while we are at it?
How will this all be delivered?
settings
* You and/or your group will meet us on Zoom! So we can see each other, watch your techniques and give feedback. You'll be able to ask questions, and get instant response from us!
* One week before you or your group's experience, we will send you the shopping and equipment list needed to execute your dishes beautifully!
* ALL workshops will be recorded so that you will get a recording of everything to keep and send to the people you bring with you!
* Workshops will be 2-2.5 hours depending on you and your gruo
* All individual classes come with a small care package from our favorite spice company Burlap & Barrel.
* We're happy to organize sending unique ingredients to your group (for an extra fee) so you can just sit back, and relax knowing they will have a care package, and everything they need arrive at their door step.

Handmade, Gorgeous, Foolproof Pasta
settings
Always wanted to master the art of fresh pasta? And play with color and flavors?
Well, never fear! Makenna is here! She's a graduate of the Cordon Bleu and a small pasta academy outside of Genoa. And she *knows* her pasta.
Together we'll make two types of pasta: beetroot & laminated with flours and fresh herbs. Then we'll make two sauces. A bright herbaceous sauce for the beetroot, and a light lemon-y cream sauce for the laminated.

Moroccan-Inspired Lamb Shoulder, Tomato & Crispy Chickpea Salad, & Fluffy Couscous.
settings
Need a little spice in your life? Let's travel to Morocco and try new spices and flavors.
We'll marinate the lamb, make some elements of the salad, start the lamb, finish the salad, make the couscous, and then wait for the lamb. This is perfect for a gathering of family or friends!
While this class will only be two hours, the lamb shoulder will take a bit longer to cook. Perfect for a mid-afternoon 'dinner' or late night supper.

Apero Hour! The Art of the Almost No-Cook Meal
settings
Want to feel like you're dining at a marvelous Italian restaurant al fresco?
I hear you. Us too.
That's why we created this class. While it leans towards French inspired flavors, the idea here? To have a low-cook meal, to share with your pod.
We'll make a cold tomato soup (Makenna's much beloved tomato cream which ironically has no cream). We'll talk charcuterie, we'll talk cheese, and we'll talk plating. We'll also make a mushroom walnut paté.
