Chili Masterclass

Thanks for contacting us. We'll get back to you as soon as possible.

THIS CLASS TAKES A DEEP DIVE INTO CHILES -FRESH, DRIED, WHOLE AND GROUND- IF YOU AND YOUR GROUP LOVE THE HEAT. THIS IS THE CLASS FOR YOU! 

Chili or Chile? The answer is BOTH! Here at Red Stick Spice, Chili is the dish - served in a bowl with a spoon and plenty of napkins. A Chile is a fruit - as in a habanero, jalapeno or ghost Chile pepper. Take this class, and you'll be an expert in both!

Meet Jim Boitnott. He's a leading music technologist with a side gig as a lover of food. We've worked with Jim for years developing signature spice blends Swamp GritGator GrindSweet Darlin, and more. Jim is a student of flavor and his travels always include learning more about local cuisine. He's passionate about Native American ingredients and foods, especially chiles - both fresh and dried, both diced and ground - and loves exploring chiles in all their forms and learning what they can do in a dish. And, as a Flamenco guitarist has spent a lot of time experiencing and studying Spanish dishes, especially paella and the dishes of Spain. 


Hands-on cooking classes at Red Stick Spice are structured as "divide and conquer." Each group cooks a different dish on the menu, and those efforts combine to produce a fabulous meal in the end. Comraderie and teamwork pair up to produce a delectable spread. Instructors move through the room, helping each group. Instructors also stop and demo multiple teachable moments along the way. Plan to have your noggin filled with Chili AND Chile knowledge and your belly filled with both. 

On the Menu:
Texas Red Chili
Chili Verde
Vegetarian Chili
Cincinnati Style Chili
