Summer Supper Cooking Class @ Dry Hill

Dry Hill Events Demo Cooking Class

Join us for an unforgettable culinary experience at Dry Hill, where great food, hands-on learning, and a relaxed atmosphere come together. Our Demo Cooking Class is designed for food lovers of all skill levels—whether you’re just getting started or looking to sharpen your techniques.

Guests are welcomed with a complimentary glass of wine to sip and savor as the experience begins. From there, our chef will guide you through essential knife skills and knife safety, helping you build confidence in the kitchen with practical, easy-to-apply techniques.

You’ll then enjoy a live, step-by-step cooking demonstration featuring thoughtfully selected seasonal recipes. Along the way, you’ll pick up tips, tricks, and insider knowledge to elevate your home cooking. Each guest will leave with a collection of recipes to take home, so you can recreate the experience for friends and family.

To finish, gather around the table and enjoy an al fresco, family-style meal (weather permitting), featuring the dishes prepared during the class. It’s a chance to relax, connect, and enjoy incredible food in a warm, welcoming setting—true to the spirit of Dry Hill.

Come hungry, leave inspired.
