Plus, you’ll learn how to hide leftovers in fillings for ravioli, empanadas, pierogi, and dumplings.
As a bonus, Chef Laura will show you how to create a creamy vegetable soup using scraps and reveal clever ways to use that untouched crudité platter and opened bottles of wine. This class is your ticket to unlocking the full potential of your Thanksgiving leftovers, making them into new and inventive dishes that will wow your family and friends!
We will also discuss how to prepare strategically for leftover cooking, like what to have on hand and simple components that can be made ahead. You will learn how to store your leftovers to ensure nothing goes to waste.
