Give your Thanksgiving table a delicious upgrade with four show-stopping sides you’ll actually want to make again.

Turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes may be Thanksgiving staples, but the right side dishes can steal the show!

Join Chef Greg Nemchick for a hands-on Thanksgiving cooking class focused on creating elevated, flavorful sides that will bring something special to your holiday table. Together, you'll prepare four impressive dishes that balance classic Thanksgiving flavors with fresh, modern touches.

Here's what we're making:
Maple-Glazed Carrots
Wild Rice with Cranberries & Pecans
Butternut Squash Soup
Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze

Bonus: Chef will be preparing the Turkey and stuffing!

These dishes are beautiful enough for the holiday table and approachable enough to make at home.

Chef G will guide you through each recipe, sharing techniques, tips, and tricks along the way. By the end of the class, you'll have a new collection of Thanksgiving favorites to complement your table —and maybe even start a few new family traditions.

Come ready to cook, learn, taste, and get inspired for Thanksgiving!
