Everything is Coming Up Sunshine

Spring is here so let’s celebrate the sun and everything that comes with it.

We’ve decided to make our menu yellow and orange!

Download all the information you’ll need for the class including the shopping list, pre-class prep list and the recipes. It is ideal that you print the recipes out. Pre-class prep is key as we have an amazing menu but it does depend on how much is done before hand. You can do it the night before too. Should be under an hour.

Jump on the Zoom call anytime after 5:20pm MST and we’ll pour our cocktails and get cookin’ around 5:30pm MST.
