I’ve got a big announcement! I usually take the off summer through October from teaching my classes but since I just came back… I’m teaching more classes in June!

The first two classes have been my most popular of classes… A Salads class! ( If you’ve had any of my salads… you’ll know why they’re so popular!) The dates for these classes will be June 29th and 30th. The menu for this class will include: The most amazing, bursting with flavor Chicken Chopped Salad with a Pickled Garlic Vinaigrette… A Chopped Wedge Salad with Caramelized Pork Belly (the pork belly alone will knock you off your feet!)… A Kale Salad with an Apple Cider Vinaigrette (another fave of mine!)… My Guiness Brown Bread with a Vanilla Butter (Brown bread heaven!) and an Orange Almond Cake (that’s completely gluten free and the most moist and flavorful cake ever!).

And I’m offering one more class.. A Grilling Class where I will be re-teaching some of my top favorite dishes. I know.. I don’t often go back to re-teach some of my amazing dishes. It’s about time after many requests from you all! We will be teaching on our @traegergrills (but don’t worry if you don’t have one … … we will teach you how you can make it on your regular grill or oven as well)… our fave mode to grill! The Menu for this class will include: The most tender Pork Tenderloin with a Balsamic Glaze, Broccolini with Crispy Prosciutto, Burrata Cheese and Stone Fruit Salad (a huge crowd favorite!), Honey Whole Wheat Loaf and for dessert… my all time fave… my Mango Coconut Tart.

We (my hubby and I) will be teaching this class on Saturday, July 1st. Talk about a perfect date night!

You’ll want to make and eat these recipes all summer (or all year) long! These dishes are also perfect for entertaining and serving a crowd.

The spots will fill fast… so email me asap if you’d like a spot! I will email you back if there’s availability. I hope to see you soon in my kitchen!

Please email me at jennyleeevans@gmail.com if you’d like a spot in this class. The class spots are very limited and are going fast so don’t delay contacting me if you’d like a spot!

I first demonstrate how to make the dishes and then we feast! Yes, this is a cooking class plus feasting… no small samples here. You got to love that! So come hungry! The cost of each class is $100.00 per person. Let me know if you are interested and I will contact you with more information about the class and tentatively put your name on the reservation list. When I receive your check, I will reserve your spot (email me for my address – jennyleeevans@gmail.com). Or even better… pay with Venmo (@jenny-evans-9). My classes are filling up really fast so please let me know if you are interested before you pay to make sure there is an open spot. For cancellations, I require a “2 weeks notice before the class” notice for a refund ( minus the 2.00 service fee) or class credit. IF YOU FIND YOU CANNOT COME AFTER THE NON REFUNDABLE TIME, YOU ARE WELCOME TO FIND A REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR SPOT.

I get a lot of requests for private classes. I have taught gatherings for birthdays, couples classes, company parties or just someone that wanted to learn a past menu and got a group of friends together to learn. I love doing these party- like classes and talk about a good time! Please feel free to contact me anytime if you are interested in doing such a class. The cost for a private class is $1,890.00 for a class with a minimum of 18 people. I can accommodate more people for a an extra cost per person.

 Anyone is invited to attend, so please feel free to forward this on to your friends, neighbors and family. I hope you can join me for another gathering of delicious food and a fun night!

Hello Friends,

Wow… I was supposed to teach this class THREE (!!!) years ago back in March 2020. But the whole world got turned upside down and shut down. But here we are and not only am I ready to teach this class… but it’s going to be one of my most epic classes everrrr! And I mean EPIC!

Why you ask? Well… to celebrate my return to teaching these classes that I love… I reached out to many of my favorite companies and people and they are donating their wonderful products that we will be giving away throughout each class. So… not only do we all get to enjoy being together again, learning some amazing dishes and feasting together but on top of that… EVERYONE will go home with an amazing gift donated by one of my wonderful sponsors or me! I did a couple of classes like this in the past at Christmas time but this will far surpass even those classes!

Now to get back to the class menu, here’s the original class post:

As you may know…. I have been going to an amazing cooking school in Tuscany for many years where we learn amazing Tuscan traditional dishes from chef Sandra Lotti. I have her permission to teach her amazing (best I’ve ever had!) Tuscan Lasagna. It is unlike any Lasagna we are familiar with here. It literally melts in your mouth and you definitely need it in your life! The rest of the menu are dishes that are absolute faves of mine. Garlic knots… who doesn’t LOVE those?! Cacio e Pepe Cauliflower…. best cauliflower ever. A Kale Romaine Caesar Salad with the most amazing Brioche Croutons (flavor bomb!). And I’m finally ready to teach an amazing Almond Cookie Cake (a cross between a biscotti and a cookie.. perfect for your after dinner drink… hot or cold) that I get every year from an incredible Italian bakery in Miami Beach. Yes… this class is chock full of flavor and favorites!

I basically told you all about the menu above, but I’ll spell it all out for you again:

Tuscan Lasagna, Garlic Knots, Cacio e Pepe Cauliflower, Kale Romaine Caesar Salad with Brioche Croutons and for the perfect ending… Italian Almond Cookie Cake.

This class will be held on Thursday, May 25th and Friday, May 26th at 5:30.

Please email me at jennyleeevans@gmail.com if you’d like a spot in this class. The class spots are very limited and are going fast so don’t delay contacting me if you’d like a spot! Those that held out for this class the past three years and didn’t want a refund… you’re automatically in and at the original price you paid. But please email me with a confirmation that you can come.

I first demonstrate how to make the dishes and then we feast! Yes, this is a cooking class plus feasting… no small samples here. You got to love that! So come hungry! The cost of each class is $100.00 per person. Let me know if you are interested and I will contact you with more information about the class and tentatively put your name on the reservation list. When I receive your check, I will reserve your spot (email me for my address – jennyleeevans@gmail.com).

Hello Friends!

The date is set for my 2020 culinary trip to Italy! I am inviting anyone that would like to join me to come with! I know many of you said you wanted to join me next year. A dreamy week of the best food ever (no exaggeration!), daily Italian cooking lessons (learning how to make more dishes that you can count… including of course, fresh pasta, wood fired pizzas, gelato, more amazing desserts and so much more!), a day of hunting truffles that includes a “truffle everything” lunch to follow (it was seriously my dream come true meal!) and daily tours to beautiful towns throughout Tuscany (this year will include Lucca, San Gimignano, Siena, possibly another town or two and Parma (the town famous for parmigiano reggiano cheese and proscuitto! We will visit places where they are made and be treated to an amazing, authentic “Parma” meal!)… the beauty and charm of these towns will blow you away!)! Yes, it really is as amazing as it sounds.. that is why I am returning for another year!

The name of the cooking school is Toscana Saporita and the classes are taught by Sandra Lotti (a James Beard award winning chef who is super fun, funny, endearing and the amazing instructor and owner of the school,) in the town of Massaccuoli, Italy. You can find reviews of the school on Trip Advisor. I am not one to repeat trips, but I have had such a phenomenal time each year and want to explore more places in Tuscany… so I am returning again for the fourth time! The experience is that amazing!

In case your wondering…. the school is for beginners to skilled cooks. Or even for those that just want to feast on amazing, authentic Italian food and explore Tuscany at its best with a local to show us things that we wouldn’t experience on our own.

Here is the low down so far. I am booked to go the week of September 12th – 19th.We are able to add an additional day next year! With Italy being 8 hours ahead, I will be flying to Florence (I won’t book my flights until a little closer to the date, but will let you know my flights in case you want to be on the same flights), a couple of days beforehand, spend a day and a half in Florence (first, because I adore Florence and second, its less expensive to fly to Florence than directly to Pisa.. win win!), stay a couple of nights in Florence and take a short train ride to Pisa Saturday evening where we will be picked up (arranged by Toscana Saporita) and taken to their school. The cost for the week is $3190.00 (you will need to send a non refundable deposit ASAP of 600.00 to reserve your spot), which includes all transfers to and from Pisa (either the train station or airport), accommodations on their estate (double occupancy, there is an additional fee if you want single occupancy), cooking classes, all your meals and daily tours exploring Tuscany, including the day of truffle hunting and eating! For those of you that drink… all wine is also included with your dinners. Male and female, single or couples are all welcome. I am hoping my hubby can join me again this year! And I am looking forward to an amazing time with you! We have such a great time as a group all week! The spots go quickly and there is a limit to how many she will accept for the week. Let me know ASAP if you’re interested… I hope you can join me for this fabulous trip… we’ll have the time of our lives!

Happy Cooking!
