Class Description:
Comfort food doesn't have to be a guilt-ridden indulgence! Join us for a cooking experience that proves wholesome ingredients can create soul-satisfying dishes that are as nourishing as they are delicious. In this hands-on class, you'll master the art of transforming classic comfort foods into heart-healthy masterpieces bursting with flavor. Your guide is CCKC Head Instructor and Executive Chef Melissa Houston, who has travelled the globe cooking and teaching for over 30 years. Hailing from the West Coast, Melissa used her wealth of culinary experience to put her own unique spin on regional and global cuisine that is both healthy and delicious.
 
Combining nostalgia and nutrition, we have a twist on the beloved Shepherd's Pie. You'll learn to craft a savory filling with lean ground chicken and a medley of fresh vegetables, topped with a creamy Cauliflower Mash that will have you wondering why you ever settled for mashed potatoes. Nothing says comfort more than Mac & Cheese, our lightened-up version boasts a creamy, low-fat sauce. Don’t forget the greens - next we have a tangy, oil-free ranch dressing to drizzle over a fresh Garden Salad. For a sweet finale, we'll indulge in a rich and creamy Yogurt Panna Cotta with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey. Of course, you’ll get to roll up your sleeves and help Chef Melissa make some of these delicious dishes.
 
Whether you're seeking to adopt a healthier lifestyle or simply looking to lighten-up some of your favorite comfort foods, this class will kickstart your nutritious cooking into high gear.
