Taught by j soma

Soma was born in the South, is what someone from the North would say. He cooks for fun, codes for hire, and has more hobbies than can dance on the head of a pin. His work has been featured everywhere from Gawker to The New York Times.

This class meets at our Court Street location

I've been teaching a class about approximately every spice, but it turns out a lot of you are just interested in the spicy ones. Welcome to the class that is exactly for you. We're making hot sauce, but that's only the beginning.

We'll talk about the different kinds of chilies, what makes them spicy, and how they're ranked against one another. Never be mystified by the tens of thousands of dried chilies sold at your supermarket again!

We'll wrangle them into hot sauce and taste them in exotic spice mixes, along with learning a few recipes. Expect a bit of history and a dash of folklore as well.

You'll take home a container of your very own hot sauce, along with various incarnations of chilies and spice mixes!
