On today’s show, I’m taking you behind the scenes to one of my hands-on cooking classes with my virtual cooking school. I realize that most of you don’t live in my home state of Massachusetts, so this is going to be a virtual cooking class where you get to follow along. Close your eyes, tune in, and come with me to a fun, exciting and delicious cooking experience.

I’ve been on Nantucket this summer, and over at the Nantucket Culinary Center, I’ve been giving cooking classes throughout the summer to locals and island visitors. These classes are always an adventure, and of course, everyone who joins one of my classes gets to cook up all sorts of nourishing foods. I thought it would be cool to take you along to one of my classes … not in person, but through this podcast episode.
Watch one of my classes in action! You can spot me in the flowery apron 🙂
If you can’t attend one of my cooking classes in person, create your own class with family and friends, and follow my recipes as you go.

- Ingredients include grilled salmon, whole wheat panko bread crumbs, shredded cheddar cheese, fresh corn kernels, mayo, dijon mustard, egg, fresh dill, and lemon zest. Avocado sauce ingredients include ripe avocado, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, fresh tarragon, dill, or parsley, honey, dijon mustard, and salt and pepper.

Liz, this was a fun episode! Love to see the cooking class. Wish I were in and around the Cape, I would love to attend a class. The salmon cakes sound so good! And I’m going to try your method of hard cooked eggs, too.
Glad you liked the show! Those salmon cakes are indeed awesome. Hope you love them…
This episode was so fun! As soon as I heard it I knew I had to make the recipes. I grill salmon at least once a week I never know what to do with the leftovers. Now I know! This was amazing and my whole family loved it !
