Some gatherings are about more than just the food🤍

This week, I had the privilege of welcoming back the “Sibs & Wannabes” for their second private class at The Little Kitchen. What began as a group of 12 in 2024 has grown to 18 strong—proof that family has a wonderful way of expanding to include not only siblings, but the people who become family along the way.

They spent the week together supporting one another, sharing memories, and celebrating a life well lived. In the midst of a busy and emotional week, they chose to spend one evening laughing, cooking, and simply being together. It was truly an honor to be a small part of that.

The menu was full of comfort and fun: hearty steak sandwiches with provolone, arugula, and caramelized onions, a fresh salad with homemade vinaigrette, Parmesan-crusted potatoes, individual strawberry shortcake parfaits, and of course, espresso martinis shaken to finish the night.

There was so much laughter, love, and genuine joy in the room. From the youngest to the oldest, this family has a remarkable way of making one another feel seen, included, and deeply loved.

Thank you, Sibs & Wannabes, for returning to The Little Kitchen and for allowing me to share in such a meaningful week. I hope this becomes a treasured annual tradition. It has been a joy getting to know all of you, and I look forward to welcoming you back again.

Thursday was a full and wonderful day at TLK with not one, but two classes — and we kicked it off with a private group from the Saint Gianna Home.

We spent the morning handcrafting gnocchi completely from scratch, learning the process from potato to pillow-soft pasta, then finishing it in a rich brown butter sage sauce. To end on a sweet note, we layered strawberry shortcake with a mascarpone cream cheese mousse for dessert.

This group was made up of people who give so much of themselves to others through their time, energy, support, and service, and it was really special to see them take a morning to slow down, gather together, laugh, learn something new, and simply enjoy each other’s company.

There were a few familiar faces and many new ones, and I truly loved having all of them in the kitchen. The food was delicious, but the company was even better. Thank you for spending part of your day with me at The Little Kitchen. I am thankful for you🤍

What a way to wrap up an incredible run of classes ☀️🌿

Our third class was all about brioche—that rich, buttery, beautifully soft dough that opens the door to so many possibilities. In this class, we turned it into caramel rolls, classic cinnamon rolls, and fruit-filled rolls (blueberry, raspberry, and more—each student got creative with their own twist 🍓🫐).

We spent time talking through just how versatile brioche can be—from rolls to loaves to pastries—and finished strong by creating a stunning butter braid filled with cream cheese and fresh fruit, topped with a bright lemon drizzle.

Students took their rolls home ready to bake, and I baked off the class batch so everyone could enjoy that fresh-from-the-oven moment before heading out. We also dove into frostings and glazes—how to pair them with different fillings to really elevate each bake.

This class was FULL (and then some!)—bringing us to 44 students across three classes in four days. What a joy it’s been. So much laughter, learning, and good food.

Such a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon—and even better to head into the week with fresh pastries waiting at home.

If you missed this one, don’t worry—more brioche classes will be coming later this summer and into fall 🤍

Round two of a full stretch of classes… and what a fun one it was!

Saturday’s Spring Roll & Pad Thai class was full of energy, laughter, and so many familiar faces—families, friends, and a few new ones mixed in. It was a packed class, the pans were sizzling, and the room was filled with that unmistakable buzz of people cooking, learning, and enjoying time together.

There’s something special about spending a Saturday afternoon this way—hands-on, a little messy, and incredibly delicious by the end. Nights like this are exactly what The Little Kitchen is all about.

And for those who’ve been hoping to get into a class—we hear you! I’ll be adding more of these in the future, so keep an eye out for additional dates later this summer and into early fall!

Thursday night kicked off a full and beautiful stretch at The Little Kitchen—and what a way to begin🌷

This class we created a fresh, spring-inspired menu: lemony herb orzo, perfectly pan-seared salmon finished with a butter dill sauce, and a sweet ending of layered strawberry shortcake with macerated berries, tender shortcake, and a vanilla bean mascarpone cream.🍓🍋🌿

The best part, as always, was the mix of familiar faces and new ones—friends returning and first-timers sharing in the same experience. That’s the magic of these nights.

This was the first of three classes in four days, and if it was any indication of the weekend ahead… we were in for something special 🤍

Thank you to everyone who joined us—you made it a night to remember.
