The holidays are approaching fast. Right on time, cooking classes to help make seasonal gatherings more festive and delicious are being offered around Long Island.
Upcoming in-person tutorials show step-by-steps for making a deluxe seafood soup that’s a warm hug in a bowl, crispy biscotti decked out in red and green (cue the cranberries and pistachios) and other edible delights.
Cooking classes are gifts that keep on giving. You expand your culinary skills and then get to share your new know-how with your nearest-and-dearests. Space is limited in these popular classes, so sign up in advance.
