May 29: Warm Weather Wines & Seafood

It is early spring and L'Etoile's wine director, Michael Kwas, is already thinking about the delicious wines we will be enjoying throughout the summer.  This class will taste flavors that are sure to be a hit all summer long.

June 19: Barbeque & Beer

This class will celebrate local, non-CAFO (Confined Animal Feeding Operations) meats and how delicious they can be.  This class will also focus on ideas to solve the dilemma of what to bring to the next cook-out/potluck you are invited to!  Since the food is focused on cook-outs and picnic potlucks, then of course, we have to pair it with beers! 

July 17: Summer Fruits - Sweet and Savory

Fruit is so much fun to cook with.  Naturally there are lots of great sweet ways to enjoy it, but this class will also taste some lovely savory preparations for summer fruits.  This class will also discuss ways to preserve fruit to enjoy after the summer sun goes down.

August 7: Southern Italian Favorites

Chef Tory and Chef Stacy both love food from around Naples and Sicily, so this Italian class will explore the wonderful offerings from these areas.  This class is a must because the food is just delicious!
