Join us for another amazing cooking class with Sonoma Spice Queen, learning all about how to create a spice-forward summer spread for your outdoor, hot-weather gatherings and celebrations.

Sonoma Spice Queen was started by spice enthusiast and culinary adventurer Wind McAlister, who also happens to be a huge Sonoma Family Meal supporter (and our neighbor). Through her love of cooking and cultural exploration, Wind offers hand-crafted organic spice mixes and rubs, with no fillers, salt, or sugar, and is excited to be back to teach a second class in benefit of Sonoma Family Meal.

This hands-on, collaborative cooking class will last 2.5 hours, with time to enjoy your meal together at the end. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or just starting out, our classes offer a fun, engaging learning environment, while raising funds for Sonoma Family Meal’s free culinary job training and food-security programs.

If you haven’t been to the SFM Kitchen yet, this class is also the perfect chance to visit and experience where the magic takes place and how the work gets done.
