With the holiday season upon us, Passion for Spices™ would like to extend our deepest gratitude to our community. To our students, clients, partners, chefs, and everyone who helps us further our mission of healthy eating and sustainable lifestyle practices, thank you. We are truly thankful for our platform and the opportunity to share our culinary knowledge with you and showcase different foods and cultures of the world.

Over the past fifteen years since the inception of Passion for Spices™, we have seen firsthand the power of cooking, the connection it fosters and the joy that is created when we gather in the kitchen and at the table. Food is medicine, not only in the way it physically sustains us but in its ability to inspire conversation, joy, and a sense of belonging.

Our success would not be possible without our friends and gracious hosts at Calvary Church. They are fierce supporters of our mission and we are grateful for their partnership.

This holiday season, we hope you are able to spend time at the table with friends, family, and neighbors, to share meals and make memories.

We would love to see you at one of our upcoming classes. Please take a look at our schedule, there's something for everyone! And if you're struggling to find a holiday gift for someone in your life, consider purchasing a Passion for Spices™ gift card; they can be used at any of our classes.

Here are some highlights from our third annual Autumn Luncheon at Calvary Church. It was a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season! Check out some photos and the menu from the event below.

Happy Holidays!

The theme was all about eggs and learning about the art and science of cooking methodology. Chef Kadko explained to our young enthusiastic students basic methods of cooking eggs. Like boiled, half-boiled, and poached.

Then we learned about a special dish, a one pot meal a family can make for a brunch or that can be made in a college dorm room as breakfast.

This is a dish named "Shakshuka" of Middle Eastern origin. It was one of the kids favorite, it tasted as good as it looks, and it was quite easy to make once Chef showed them how to make the base of the shakshuka and how to poach the egg on it.

They also learned how to make frittata with seasonal vegetables, like squash and zucchini, spring onions, green onions, etc. topped with your favorite cheese. Another one pot meal kids can make, great for a bunch, dorm cooking, and family meals..

Finally the kids learned how to make the dessert part, where the kids learned how to make a chocolate souffle from scratch, using the finest chocolate.

At the end of the class, everyone enjoyed the dishes they made and their knowledge of how to use eggs was definitely enhanced for the participants.

Our next session will be on nutrition and smart shopping where we will learn about shopping for food ingredients, focused on quality, labeling, nutrition, and seasonal. Taking place at the Whole Foods market in Madison on March 23rd.

You still have time to signup, and we have a lot more sessions coming up in our program.
