Chances are, you're familiar with most common cooking spices and herbs. But do you know how to use them effectively for best results? Which ones go together? To be a great cook, you must learn to use these to your advantage and this class will show you how.  You'll also learn the difference between herbs and spices, and fresh and dried herbs. Dishes will include kosher saffron chicken, seasoned veggie burgers, and different types of marinades.

We’ll start off with a brief description of the dish and ingredients, and Chef Joseph will give a comprehensive step-by-step demonstration. Students then work hands-on with their own dish while he assists each person.
