Event Details
Few things in life are more inspiring than gathering around a table with good food, good drinks, and even better company. These kinds of creative, social moments have fueled artists for generations, and they’re at the heart of the Des Moines Art Center’s print gallery exhibition, “Artists Around a Table: Artmaking and Merrymaking, 1927-1952.”
Consider this your invitation to the party! Join us and the Culinary Annex’s Chef Cass for a hands-on cooking class where you’ll create and enjoy classic party foods from the 1920s – 40s. Expect a lively, social atmosphere full of flavor, laughter, and a little bit of indulgence — echoing the barrooms and parlors where artists once gathered to eat, drink, and delight in one another’s company. Come solo or bring a friend; you’ll leave with new recipes, new connections, and maybe a good story or two.
Hosted by Chef Cass, this class will take place at the Culinary Annex, located at 304 5th St. unit 102, West Des Moines, IA 50265.
Registration is required, and the class fee is $50.
