Description
Step into the heart of Appalachia this season as we celebrate the flavors, traditions, and hospitality that define a Kentucky fall. In this hands-on cooking class, we’ll cook our way through a comforting menu inspired by Appalachian home kitchens—where simple ingredients, time-honored techniques, and seasonal harvests come together to create deeply satisfying food.
Working side-by-side with our chef, you’ll prepare a thoughtfully curated menu that highlights local ingredients and regional favorites, from slow-simmered dishes and skillet-baked breads to orchard fruits, garden vegetables, and warm, spiced desserts. Along the way, you’ll learn practical cooking skills and the stories behind the ingredients and traditions that have shaped Appalachian cooking for generations.
This class is all about slowing down, gathering around the table, and welcoming the season with food that feels familiar, grounding, and full of heart. Whether you're reconnecting with regional roots or discovering Appalachian cuisine for the first time, you’ll leave with new recipes, new skills, and a deeper appreciation for the flavors of fall in Kentucky.
