Mother's Day Brunch & Bubbles

This year, skip the brunch lines and treat the mom in your life to an extra-special Mother’s Day brunch and bubbles class! Our teacher for the day will be cookbook author Andrea Slonecker. Highlighting some of her favorite springtime brunch recipes from her new cookbook, Wine Food: New Adventures in Drinking and Cooking (co-written with Cookshop neighbor Dana Frank of Bar Norman), the menu will include Tropical Yogurt Parfaits with Seedy Cashew Crunch; a cheesy, layered Torta di Frittata with spring greens and mushrooms; and savory Falafel Waffles topped with a fresh salad of cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and feta. You’ll get to enjoy a selection of white and rosé sparkling wines as you cook together and learn in this easy-like-Sunday-morning class. Then we’ll sit down and toast to mom before devouring the delicious meal. (Vegetarian and gluten-free friendly!)

What to expect:

• Class will include all instruction, tools, recipes and ingredients.

• Each student will enjoy some light nibbles and a welcome drink at the start of class.

• Class will end with students sitting down to share the items they made, along with sparkling wine, coffee, and tea (a special non-alcoholic beverage will be also be available).

CLASS DATE: 5/12/19, 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
