Ready to up your charcuterie game? In this class, Chef Cecilia will offer step-by-step techniques and walk you through the process of designing TWO visually pleasing boards- one sweet and one savory while sharing her best tips and tricks for carving and shaping fruit, vegetables, cheese and a selection of meats.

Step 1: Meats

Meats are usually one of the largest components on the board, so start there. Play up the variety by offering at least two to three different types of meats. Chef Cecilia will show you how to create roses and other flower shapes to compliment your Mother’s Day theme.

Step 2: Cheeses

Next, start filling in the board with cheeses. Pick out two to three different kinds of cheese with varying flavors and textures.

Step 3: Accoutrements

Now it's time to add the extras that help you build the perfect bite: Sweet & Salty, Chocolate, Dips, Jellies & Spreads

Step 4: Crispy Canvas

Finally, fill in any remaining blanks with crackers, breads, or vegetables. This is the foundation upon which you custom-build each delicious mouthful.

Step 5: Getting Fancy

Common decorative flowers that are safe to eat and look lovely. Plus, as it’s almost Mother’s Day, you’ll add some chocolate dipped strawberries and handmade chocolate truffles!

And, just in case you were wondering charcuterie is pronounced "shahr-ku-tuh-ree."

This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo* types:

YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child (ONE child aged 8+ per adult please!)

YES: Couples (live in the same household)

YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.

*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two people sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day. (Don’t worry, if you want to fly solo, we won’t put you with some random stranger!)

We provide all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging too!

Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
