Orono Community Education

Elevate your holiday gatherings this season with a beautifully crafted charcuterie board. Laura, from Fig and Ivy Charcuterie, will provide step-by-step guidance in the arrangement of fine cheeses, meats, and additional accompaniments. Your board will be a perfectly festive (and edible) centerpiece! Have fun with family and friends at Iron Exchange in Maple Plain. Food and beverages are available to purchase during class. A link to pay the ingredient fee of $40 will be sent out one week prior to the class. Bring home a new experience, a helpful grocery list for future boards, PLUS an artfully arranged 10” round charcuterie board (serves 5-6 people) to enjoy right away!

Lefse is a Norwegian delicacy, made for banquets, holidays, weddings, and all special occasions. Making the dough, baking, storing, and of course how to serve lefse (bonus is a bit of history and humor). We will begin with real potatoes using a number of authentic recipes and a modern version using instant potatoes. Plan to sample your fresh, warm creations with traditional fillings, plus take home finished lefse and dough to bake and then share with family and friends. A $9 supply fee payable to instructor at class.

Fall is in the air, and it's the best time to make apple pie. Nancy will take you through all the steps, from making a crust, to preparing all the filling for your pie using fresh apples. Each student will leave class with a hot apple pie to share with family and friends. Boxes will be provided. Please bring a rolling pin, if you have one. Supply Fee of $15 per student payable to the instructor in class.
