Our Menu

Deconstructed Lasagna with Roasted Wild Mushrooms and Salsa Verde

This “lasagna” is a one-dish meal with a big WOW factor that can be prepped a bit ahead. That means it’s an ideal back-pocket dinner party recipe, which we all will be in need of as we officially enter the holiday season.

It is at once deeply earthy and comforting with crispy, umami-packed mushrooms and milky cheese, and vibrant and fresh with the salsa verde, spicy arugula and lemon. The dish is equally loaded with textures in a way that I find compelling – chewy noodles, crispy mushrooms, snappy greens and crunchy hazelnuts.

Finally, this recipe is a roadmap, not a mandate. Once you have the idea, you can riff on the lasagna depending on what vegetables you love and the season, or simplify it so it would easy to pull off even on a weeknight. We’ll talk about all of these ideas in class.

As always, after you register I’ll send you an invoice and more information about the class including our grocery list, recipes and answers to common questions. Hope I get to cook with you!

TIK TOK BAKED FETA BUT MAKE IT FALL

Remember that viral baked feta and tomato pasta? Let’s run with that idea and bring it into fall. Sweet roasted butternut squash, salty feta and a little punch from lots of apple cider vinegar makes this the perfect warm topper for crusty bread. Leftovers on day two/three are arguably even better tossed with a few cups of cooked farro.

This might just be my new go-to autumn app.

KALE SALAD WITH ROASTED SWEET POTATO, APPLE AND HAZELNUTS

When the temperatures dips, my salad cravings shift from light and crisp to dense and hearty. So here’s some serious fall salad inspo: Massaged Lacinato Kale with Roasted Sweet Potato, Apple and Toasted Hazelnuts. Top it with roasted chicken (store-bought rotisserie!) or salmon, or baked tofu and it’s a complete meal.

PIZZA STRATA

Ever made a strata? I like to think of them as a cross between stuffing and frittata — deeply crunchy croutons bound together with a highly flavorful eggy mix. They are endlessly versatile but a family favorite is Pizza Strata. It has definite deep dish vibes with a super crisp outer shell and soft, cheesy, tomatoey interior. I love mushroom pizza so used those here but swap in your favorite pizza “topping”.

Balsamic Roasted Peppers with Creamy Goat Cheese

Ever since I made Alexandra Stafford’s 4-Ingredient Balsamic Roasted Mini-Peppers, some rendition of them or another has been a go-to side dish or appetizer for me. I love adding in some spicy peppers, a big hit of garlic and then finishing the dish with cheese. The combination of totally caramelized peppers, warm cheese and sweet/tangy balsamic is totally addictive.
