Seasoned Together: A Community Herb & Spice Club

Discover. Cook. Connect.

Join us for Seasoned Together, our hands-on herb and spice club! **In June, we will learn to make: Quinlan's Grandma's Goulash**

At Seasoned Together, we believe that cooking is about more than just food; it’s about community, curiosity, and creativity. Each month, we explore a different herb or spice, learning its history, flavor profile, and unique uses. Then we roll up our sleeves and make a simple, delicious dish together.

Whether you’re an experienced cook or just starting out, this club is a welcoming space to try new flavors, share stories, and connect with others who love food and learning. Come for the ingredients, stay for the friendship, and leave with new skills, new tastes, and new connections!

Once well combined and fragrant, add the sazon and ham powder, then add the tomato paste and combine well.
