Thanksgiving in a Nutshell

In this class you'll learn how to prepare, roast and carve a Cornish hen which will give you the skills you'll use to impress your family and guests this Thanksgiving. You'll also make glazed carrots and learn the secret to creamy mashed potatoes and mouth-watering made from scratch gravy. This is basically a Thanksgiving practice run.

While your Cornish hen is in the oven, Chef will teach you how to perfectly carve it and then you'll practice your newly learned carving skills on your own hen. By the end of class you'll have the confidence to tackle a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner!

You've got to have mashed potatoes, and were making an excellent rendition with buttermilk and you'll learn how to be sure they come out fluffy and full of flavor. Another technique you'll learn is "glazing", and that doesn't just mean pouring a sticky sweet sauce on top, we're doing the classic French method, which you can also use to glaze sweet potatoes, parsnips, and more!
