Celebrate the seasons with chef Scott Graden to discover and create delectable recipes from the recently released New Scenic Café - The Second Cookbook. Ranging from sumptuous summer delights to hearty winter dishes, four separate courses inspire all levels of cooks to fill their minds and bellies with the bounty that emerges as we make that regular trip around the sun. Gain a world of insider knowledge as you are offered expert tutelage that will not appear in the cookbook. The instructor will share his inspiration for the recipes and cookbook, appropriate modifications, and useful tools. In addition, the instructor will share his perspective on his resilience in the hospitality industry, his adaptations throughout COVID, and experience writing the book. The first day of class will feature preparations for the meal the following day, along with discussions with the chef and author. The second day will feature the final preparations and an opportunity to share the meal with your fellow students pending safety recommendations. Each separate course includes one discounted New Scenic Café - The Second Cookbook for each student. Note: Registration closes one week prior to class. 

Please sign up for each course individually by date. Recipes are listed on northhouse.org with each course description.

Required Tools
