I offer the following classes a few times throughout the year. I can't wait to see you there! All classes include a PDF booklet with all the information and recipes covered in the class. Ingredients come from organic, sustainably-sourced, small batch herb supply sources and all packaging is glass and aluminum. Participants leave every class with a take-away product (sometimes two or three).
