Cooking Class: Fresh Winter Flavors

Cook away the winter gray with flavor-packed recipes inspired by colorful root vegetables, citrus, and chestnuts. In this demonstration-style class you will learn to make a light and lemony Chicken Orzo Soup bursting with fresh citrus, herbs, healthy greens, and tender pasta. It is a surprisingly loaded broth that can be made on the stovetop or in a crock-pot. Stick-to-your-ribs potpie pockets are easy to make and freeze ahead, then quickly bake off when wintry comfort food is in demand. Mashed sweet potatoes, roasted carrots, parsnip and other veggies are stuffed into a pastry crust, which can be made in individual pocket pies or family style. For dessert, sweet and sour play off of one another in a simply delicious moist crème fraîche cake sweetened with seasonal citrus. This class will certainly chase away the winter blahs. Recipes and wine are included.
