Host with the Most

EACH CLASS PURCHASE OF $105 IS FOR AN INDIVIDUAL - NOT A COUPLE. YOU WILL WORK AT A STATION WITH ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL.

Join New Orleans based chef Celeste Baer in the Teaching Kitchen for some host-making skills that will have you entertaining with serious style. She had us at Fool Proof Cheeseboard, but this class has so, so much more. Warm fennel olives, quick pickled veggies, homemade jam plus swoon worthy bites and pickups. This class is all about making entertaining doable and delicious. Learn Celeste's make-ahead tips plus ways to create and style platters and boards that will guarantee that you cinch the title "Host with the Most!"
