From a baker’s hands emerge the telltale hearts of pastry, crumbling strata that melt or hang on lips and invite a darling’s dusting. In the hands of a baker, flour and butter are transformed from the mundane into the magical, 99 percent inspiration and one percent angels’ breath in the heat of the oven. Pie is not hard. Sift your flour and see how simple it is!

Class Description:
Sherry is Spain’s greatest wine, and food’s best friend. Above all else, one should embrace it at the table while foregoing the erroneous notion that all white wine is supposed to be pert, fresh and redolent of grapefruit or green apple. When a drinker abides their innate human love of savoury flavours, the glycerolic and umami-driven charm of sherry will benignly haunt them for the rest of their lives.

There’s really two kinds of people on this planet—those who love sherry, and those who don’t yet know that they love sherry. This dinner will appeal to both types, although the latter would be particularly well-served by attending.

Respectfully, we cannot accommodate any dietary restrictions at this event.

Menu and wine selection will be posted closer to the event.
