Cook the Book: Bar Menu
Dec 13 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

Chef Teryi Youngblood Musolf grew up with a love of cookbooks, and there’s a reason half the cooks in town call her mama. Her skill in the kitchen is matched only by her warm way with a good story, a tip or a trick you’ll remember the next time you find yourself behind the stove. So join Chef Teryi on December 13th for a seated, taste-and-learn event featuring André Darlington’s Bar Menu.

Your ticket includes a sampling of small plates and a wine pairing, Teryi’s expert instruction, and a copy of the cookbook for yourself.
