Learn to Make Holiday Gifts for Foodies: Infused Oils, Flavored Salts, & Fermented Fruit Holiday Relish
When considering gifts for your sister-in-law, your child’s teacher, or a friendly acquaintance during this holiday season, edible gifts can be a thoughtful choice. By providing something that everyone can enjoy, you can alleviate concerns about dietary restrictions and food allergies. Join us at the Horn Farm kitchen to discover how to create delightful edible gifts that can be prepared in advance or at short notice.
Come create your very own:
- Infused Oils: transport any adult’s taste buds to the essence of Italy
- Flavored salts: surprise the foodie on your list with something unique
- Fermented Fruit Relish: create a savory yet sweet treat with holiday flavors of butternut squash, apples, pears, and cranberries perfect for a family pot-luck or a bespoke gift for a friend or family member
Why spend frantic hours shopping and buying yet another “big-box-store” kind of gift when you can give a gift that is homemade and heartfelt! Or even better, give the gift of an experience and purchase a spot to learn fun kitchen skills together! A recent participant in a gluten-free bread-baking class shared,
“My friend who came with me to the gluten-free bread baking class wanted me to tell you that she came to learn [gluten-free baking] to make bread for her daughter in law and she loved it! And then they baked some together and it was a lovely bonding experience.”
So bring a friend! By the end of this class, you will each go home with three of your own newly created gifts to check off some of those names on your lists. Plus, all products created during class will be gluten-free and vegan to please any picky eater!
For all classes: please wear closed-toe shoes, tie hair back or wear a hat, and bring an apron if you have one. Space is limited due to the small size of our kitchen, so register today while spots remain!
