This holiday season, skip the scented candles and give the gift of something homemade and delicious. In this hands-on class from Chef Ariel Voorhees of Gather Round Chef Service, we’ll make a selection of savory edible gifts: snackable treats and ingredients that travel well and spread joy.

You’ll leave with five different beautifully packaged goodies, ready to gift (or keep!), plus the recipes and inspiration to make more at home. Thoughtful, personal, and made with love, just the way gifts should be.

These recipes are vegetarian. Please disclose all allergies and dietary restrictions in the ticket registration. Please note we are not an allergen free facility.
