The Cook’s Warehouse - Decatur
($60, 7:00-9:00 p.m., Demonstration & Tasting)

If you’re from the south, you’ve been to plenty of New Year’s Day parties where Black Eyed Peas and Greens are served.  Black Eyed Peas represent health and greens signify wealth.  Tonight, we’re putting a new twist on this tradition.  Join Cook’s Warehouse Founder, Mary Moore, and Sommelier, Don Hackett, for a fun and educational evening in the kitchen.  Each will prepare a dish using these traditional ingredients but in a new way.  Mary will prepare Black-Eyed Pea Hummus and Crispy Greens Salad; Don will show you how to make Gluten Free Black-Eyed Pea-zza and Acorn Squash and Southern Greens Gratin.  Of course, it wouldn’t be a southern feast without pork and dessert, so Mary and Don will also prepare Big Green Egg® Pulled Pork and Brandy Alexander Parfaits.  We’ll also be breaking new ground by pairing these dishes with a new and interesting wine (or maybe beer or cider!!).  The best part is all the proceeds from this class go to help feed those in our community that could use assistance this holiday season. Evening includes wine tastings sponsored by Sherlock’s Wine Merchant and a chance to win tasty door prizes provided by Bella Cucina Artful Foods and Cabot Cheese.
