The Art of Making Sausage & Bacon - Saturday November 1st at Noon
It is hard to deny that bacon has become ubiquitous in the culinary world, and for good reasons.

The class will learn about the proper tools and ingredients for making a variety of fresh sausages such as sweet Italian, chorizo, maple sage breakfast patties and the spicy lamb sausage Merguez. We'll then talk about the curing of meats and the process of making bacon. We'll finish by sampling all of these amazing creations. $69. For tickets click HERE
