Learn a little about the tradition of the blessed basket, then work together, with others who attend on the day, to prepare our blessed basket of Easter dishes from around the world.  With all of the dishes prepared, take a seat at the table and enjoy a delicious feast as we relax, eat and chat to finish the session.

More Information:
I prefer not to call this a cooking class, but more of a hands-on cooking and knowledge sharing session, where those attending learn and share from my experience. I am not a trained chef, just taught and guided by my experiences, and driven by my love of cooking, sharing, and celebrating with food.
