condiments, staples &
the art of preserving

Two class times: 1:30 and 5:30 p.m. Please select your preferred time when signing up. Click on the image above to purchase tickets.

September's harvest brings an abundance of herbs, vegetables, and fruit. In this demonstration-style class, we'll explore Mediterranean inspired ways to preserve the season and stock the pantry with homemade staples for the months ahead.

Using fresh local produce and garden harvests, you'll discover how simple preservation techniques transform into flavorful pantry essentials. By making these staples yourself, you'll gain greater control over the ingredients you use while creating wholesome, Mediterranean inspired alternatives to many commercially prepared condiments and sauces.

Whether used to brighten grain bowls, elevate roasted vegetables, add interest to salads, or bring depth to everyday meals, these versatile pantry staples make it easy to keep the flavors of the harvest close at hand long after the season has passed.

Join us as we explore practical techniques, creative inspiration, and delicious ways to preserve the season while building a Mediterranean larder filled with flavor, color, and possibility.

special hands-on class

Fresh herbs are one of the greatest pleasures of the summer garden. In this intimate, hands-on workshop, you'll learn simple techniques for preserving their flavor and fragrance so you can enjoy them throughout the year.

Together, we'll create internationally inspired kitchen staples that add fresh flavor to everyday meals. Learn how to pair herbs confidently, preserve them successfully, and use them creatively in your cooking.

Because this is a small-group experience, you'll have plenty of opportunity for questions, conversation, and personal guidance. Class size is limited to 16 people.

You'll leave with samples to take home, tested recipes, practical preservation tips, and the confidence to transform fresh herbs into a pantry full of homemade flavor. Whether your herbs come from a sprawling garden, a few patio pots, or the farmers market, you'll gain skills you'll use all winter long.

• Saturday, August 29, 2026 | 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.

flavor, memory
& meaning

Some recipes feed us. Others become part of who we are.

Join Liza Naylor for a very special cooking demonstration exploring the memories, traditions, and life lessons woven into the meals that have shaped her life and the heart of Locally Seasoned. Through stories, seasonal recipes, and shared conversation, we'll discover how food becomes a way of carrying our history forward.

Presented in partnership with York College's Lifelong Learning Institute, this retrospective offers a glimpse into Liza's culinary foundation, the experiences that continue to influence her work, and the meaningful role cooking can play in bringing us home to ourselves.

More than a cooking class, Flavor, Memory & Meaning is an invitation to reflect on your own story, honor the people who came before you, and rediscover the meals that helped shape the person you are today.

• Thurs, September 10 2026 | 1:30-3:00 pm
• Demonstration style | Taste + take home inspiration
• Whole Food Plant Based (optional dairy, egg & gluten)

The holidays offer an opportunity to bring us together in joy, peace and gratitude. A time to rest and replenish. Somewhere along the way we learned to move into states of elevated stress. Join us for The Calm Holiday Kitchen, a seasonal cooking class exploring how the foods we prepare and the way we prepare them can help us slow down and reconnect with joy and relaxation.

We’ll explore the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and its approach to fall foods, along with:

· hearty whole food, plant based Mediterranean dishes
· fresh seasonal ingredients for the upcoming holidays
· practical tips for creating calm and relaxation

In this class we’ll prepare dishes that feel right at home on your holiday table while exploring ways to bring more ease and intention into holiday cooking and eating. We are joined by Tammy Bray of Qigong 4 Well-Being and Divine Shine. She will lead us through simple Qigong practices designed to help calm the nervous system, settle the body and create a little more space during a busy season.
