There's something special about a traditional Sunday roast — the wonderful aromas filling the kitchen, the anticipation of a delicious meal, and the joy of bringing family and friends together around the table.
Join us at the Florida Academy of Baking for a fun, fully hands-on cooking class where you'll learn to prepare a classic herb-butter roast chicken dinner with all the trimmings, followed by a comforting homemade dessert.
Under the guidance of our chef, you'll start by preparing a fragrant herbed butter, learning how to season your chicken both under and over the skin to create beautifully golden, crispy skin and wonderfully juicy, flavorful meat. You'll also prepare a delicious homemade herbed stuffing, the perfect accompaniment to a traditional Sunday roast.
Next, you'll master the art of making crispy roast potatoes with fluffy centers, sweet honey-glazed carrots, and perfectly cooked green beans. And because no Sunday roast is complete without gravy, you'll learn to transform those delicious chicken roasting juices into a rich, flavorful homemade chicken gravy.
To finish on a sweet note, you'll prepare a comforting homemade fruit crisp, featuring juicy seasonal fruit beneath a golden, buttery crumble topping, served warm with silky-smooth vanilla custard made from scratch.
