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.

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.

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.
