The Kitchen Garden Atelier: Cooking with the Seasons. Inspired by the Garden

In this 3-hour workshop, lead by Andreya, you will learn how to make mozzarella and duck

confit from scratch as well as a variety of Bruschetta toppings celebrating all our favorite Fall

flavors. In additional to talking about seasonality, we will focus on foundational cooking

techniques that are widely applicable to a variety of dishes. And most importantly, you will gain

the tools required to develop creativity and improvisation in the kitchen!
