Event Time: 6:00-7:30pm

Discover how simple ingredients can unlock a world of flavor. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll start with mustard—one of the easiest, most flexible condiments to make at home—and explore how this humble seed becomes a canvas for global flavor.

You’ll hear about Crown Hill Farm, how we grow mustard seeds in WNY, and how a few spices or herbs can transport a jar from classic Dijon vibes to bold flavors inspired by Japan, the Middle East, or France. You’ll create your own custom jar to take home and build your confidence to experiment in your own kitchen.

From there, we’ll expand into salad dressings and marinades—another simple, powerful way to play with flavor at home. Once you understand the basic structure (fat + acid + seasoning), you can shift your meal into any cuisine you love using ingredients you probably already have.

Along the way, ask questions and we’ll talk about food, farming, and flavor—from my life at Crown Hill Farm to the joy of cooking from scratch.

You’ll Learn:

• how to make mustard from scratch (it’s easier than you think)

• flavor pairings to evoke different world cuisines

• the core formula for salad dressings + marinades

• simple ways to experiment with your own ingredients

• how to courageously build confidence in your creative cooking

You’ll leave with a recipe card, a world flavors chart, and your own jar of custom mustard to take home.
