Spirited Dinner with Leslee Nuttelman

Wednesday, October 28, 2026 6:30-8:30 PM

In-Person Demonstration Cooking Class

Get ready for a boo-tiful evening of tricks, treats, and spirited eats! This Halloween-inspired cooking class puts the spirits in spirited dining, with a menu featuring Cognac, rum, prosecco, a dirty martini twist, and plenty of wickedly delicious flavors. We’ll start by raising some spirits with dirty martini marinated cheese, a frightfully fun appetizer with the briny bite of the classic cocktail. You’ll also enjoy crostini with mascarpone & rosé wine hot pepper jelly, a sweet-and-spicy little treat prepared ahead for tasting. No tricks here!  For the main event, sink your fangs into roasted thyme and cognac chicken with creamy polenta, an elegant and comforting dish that’s simply to die for. Alongside it, we’ll toss up mixed greens with caramelized rum grape vinaigrette, because even our salad likes to get into the spirits. And for the grand finale? A wickedly good ricotta and prosecco poached pear crostata, featuring delicately poached pears, creamy ricotta, and rustic pastry. It’s the kind of dessert that may just haunt your dreams.
