Join Chef Ariel Voorhees of Gather Round Chef Service for our first Cook the Book class, featuring Melissa Clark’s Dinner: Changing the Game. Ticket options offer the choice to take a signed copy of the book home courtesy of Waterbury's own Bridgeside Books!

Together, we’ll explore bold, approachable recipes that rethink weeknight meals by infusing familiar ingredients with fresh, global flavors. In particular, we’ll explore the Sheet Pan Dinner, a genius strategy that Clark unveils in this book.

In this hands-on class, you’ll cook a few standout dishes from the book, pick up new techniques and conclude the evening by gathering to share the meal we’ve created.

Whether you’re already a fan or new to Melissa Clark’s world, you’ll leave inspired to bring more joy, ease and creativity to your own dinner table.
