Adding flavor to routine dishes can take your cooking up a notch with just a little effort. In this class we will teach you how to make herb themed condiments, like ketchup and mustard, as well as flavor filled herb bombs that can be added to sauces and cooked dishes to increase taste. These great make-ahead items are easy to do. We will show you how, provide recipes and have some tase tests.
