Let’s Put A Bow On It: Cooking Class + Workshop at Cork & Knife Provisions – Toledo, OH

Learn it. Make it. Eat it. Gift it.

The annual tradition of panic-buying candles ends right here, right now. (Although we love a good candle.)

Part cooking class, part holiday workshop and part dinner, this hands-on evening is all about learning a few new tricks, eating really well and getting a little holiday gifting handled while you’re at it.

You’ll cook alongside Chef to create four beautiful, gift-ready edible gifts, learning the techniques behind each one as you go. Throughout the evening, those same creations become part of a full dinner—so you’ll be cooking, tasting and eating from start to finish.

Then we’ll package it all up. You’ll head home with four handmade gifts, beautifully packaged + labeled and ready to give—plus the recipes and know-how to make them all over again.

Whether you actually give them away is between you and Santa.

The Gift Department MAY Include:

Hot Honey With a Résumé
Local honey | Dried chile | Toasted coriander | Black lime | Dried orange peel
Learn controlled infusion, balancing heat and building big flavor.

The Holiday Jar That Actually Gets Opened
Port-cranberry + pear mostarda | Mustard seed | Rosemary | Black pepper | Cider vinegar
Fruit preservation, sweet-acid balance and working with whole spices.

Put This on Everything Crunch
Crispy shallot | Toasted pumpkin seed | Sesame | Sourdough crumb | Fennel | Garlic | Nori | Chile
Build a finishing condiment using salt, fat, aroma and several glorious kinds of crunch.

Midnight Drinking Chocolate
