Live Interactive Cooking Class with

Chef Dez!

With "Entertaining Season" right around the corner, you'll definitely want to make these recipes for guests!

Get ready to turn humble ingredients into two incredible gourmet condiments that can completely transform appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, cheese boards, and so much more!

In this live interactive cooking class, you'll cook right alongside Chef Dez as we make Rosemary Maple Bacon Jam and Red Onion Marmalade completely from scratch.

We'll start our Bacon Jam with thick-cut bacon, slowly cooking it until beautifully browned before using some of that rendered bacon fat to cook onions and garlic. Then we'll build layers of sweet, savoury, tangy, and aromatic flavour with black coffee, dark brown sugar, pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and fresh rosemary. We'll simmer everything together until it develops that irresistible syrupy, jam-like consistency.

At the same time, we'll transform a generous pile of red onions into a rich Red Onion Marmalade. You'll learn how to properly cook and caramelize onions before adding dark brown sugar, red wine, and balsamic vinegar, then reducing everything until thick, glossy, and bursting with concentrated flavour.

Along the way, Chef Dez will show you how to properly slice onions, render bacon, caramelize, reduce liquids, recognize the right finished consistency, and most importantly, understand how time and temperature build flavour.

And because this is an interactive class, you're not just watching. You're making both recipes right alongside Chef Dez!

Once you've mastered these two recipes, the possibilities are endless. Pair the Rosemary Maple Bacon Jam with soft goat cheese and crackers or crostini, add it to appetizers and canapés, or discover your own favourite combination. Use your Red Onion Marmalade on burgers, sandwiches, crackers and cheese, and anywhere else that could use a sweet and savoury flavour boost.

By the end of class, you'll have approximately 2 cups of Rosemary Maple Bacon Jam AND 2 cups of Red Onion Marmalade ready to enjoy.

Two jars. Two completely different flavour bombs. One seriously delicious class. 👨‍🍳🥓🧅
