Elegant Holiday Appetizers

Forget the tired cheese plates and predictable party snacks. The holidays demand something better, something with soul. On Monday, November 17th, join Chef Leena Bernardo of the acclaimed Vyne Restaurant & Bar for an evening of real-deal holiday appetizers. This is your chance to get your hands dirty and master the food that actually gets people talking.

We’re talking sweet potato croquettes, savory cheddar and herb pinwheels, and maple bacon bourbon meatballs that don’t mess around. You’ll learn to craft shrimp stuffed with a decadent scallop and crab filling and finish with a rustic, honest apple galette. This isn’t about just following recipes; it’s about learning the techniques to create bold, unforgettable flavors. Step up your holiday game with food that has a story.
