Intuitive Farm-to-Table Winter Cooking Class with Arizona Cookbook Author, Melanie Albert and Farmer Billy Anthony at The Farm at South Mountain

Learn to Intuitively Cook: Farm-to-Table. Seasonal. Local Arizona Winter Harvest.

Experience authentic farm-to-table plant-based cooking alongside award-winning cookbook author Melanie Albert of Experience Nutrition and Farmer Billy Anthony, Farm Operations Manager of The Farm at South Mountain.

We’ve all heard the terms: farm-to-table, eat local, eat with the season, and plant-based. This fun, hands-on, interactive cooking class is your opportunity to experience this exciting way of cooking first-hand in the beauty of The Farm at South Mountain with Farmer Billy, and intuitive plant-based cooking expert, Melanie Albert.

The week before the cooking class experience, Melanie and Billy will walk through the Soil & Seed Garden at The Farm and begin to strategize on food to harvest for the class, including all kinds of roots, greens, herbs, edible flowers, and other surprises. The morning of the class, Billy and his team will harvest the beautiful fresh produce. A few hours later, you’ll be creating beautiful, tasty, healthy dishes with the just-harvested food.

During the hands-on class, Melanie will guide you to prepare the dishes and to plate them beautifully. We’ll focus on beautiful delicious appetizers and desserts for the holidays. You’ll then enjoy your beautiful culinary creations in the beauty of The Farm with your new foodie community!

We invite you to come to the class open to new, beautiful foods, and your creativity and imagination.

No cooking experience necessary! Great event for family or group of friends.
