FRANCES KNOWS HER WAY AROUND A FESTIVE MENU! In this hands-on cooking session, she will teach you to make splendid side dishes to enhance your holiday table. Along with recipes, Frances will share a game plan to help reduce the stress of hosting Thanksgiving (or any meal) while gracefully accommodating all manner of dietary preferences.

Something special elevates each dish—from cozy Sweet Potato Gratin with tangy goat cheese to Thai-curry-spiced Green Bean Casserole. Of course Frances will devote attention to some updated classics, like Cranberry Sauce Two Ways, Chestnut, Pancetta & Fennel Stuffing and Roast Vegetables with a tangy kick from pomegranate and harissa. Take a fresh look at salads, too, with Shaved Brussels Sprouts or Chicory Salad with a vinaigrette that cleverly repurposes some of your cranberry sauce.

Most of these recipes may be made in advance, ready to embellish or simply reheat on your feast day. Let Frances lead the way to a more flavorful and relaxed holiday meal!

As our session will conclude around the dining table, where we’ll sample all of the dishes made during class, accompanied by wine, beer and a selection of non-alcoholic beverages.
