Pick a class from the schedule and let the oregano-scented romance begin. Master meat with the Beef on the Grill class featuring tutorials on such cook 'em and eat 'em delights as maple rosemary steak skewers, skirt-steak salad, and braised brisket in chipotle molasses barbecue sauce (June 8, 6:30 p.m.), or opt for the poultry-friendly Chicken on the Grill with mini chicken burgers, balsamic black-pepper-grilled thighs, pesto and portabella grilled breasts, and a minty summer squash salad (July 20, 6:30 p.m.). Get more festive than a fiesta with a Mexican class, where participants learn how to prepare heirloom tomato and avocado salsa, scallop ceviche, adobo marinated pork, and a sautéed chard sweet-potato salad (August 24, 6:30 p.m.).
