A Hands-On Pumpkin Adventure

Imagine this: you, your family, and a couple of friends gathered around a table filled with pumpkins, tools, and creativity. Led by the dynamic duo of chefs Matthew and Tia Raiford, this hands-on pumpkin carving class is not just about making spooky faces. It’s about learning how to reduce food waste while celebrating the season. With over 60 years of combined culinary experience under their belts, these chefs are ready to turn your pumpkin into a masterpiece—and a delicious meal!

 

Carving with Purpose

During this event, you’ll carve creative designs into your pumpkins while discovering how to make the most of every part of this versatile vegetable. Ever thought about what happens to those pumpkin seeds? You’ll get to harvest and roast them over an open fire! Plus, learn tasty ways to prepare the pumpkin flesh and tips for preserving your carving so it lasts longer than just Halloween night.

This isn’t just a carving class; it’s a lesson in sustainability. Matthew and Tia are passionate about reducing food waste and share practical tips you can bring back home. Imagine impressing your friends at your next gathering with a carved pumpkin and a delicious pumpkin dish made from what would otherwise be scraps!

 

More Than Just Carving

What’s better than carving pumpkins? Enjoying a seasonal meal prepared by the chefs themselves! You’ll leave not only with newfound skills but also with a full belly. And for those with younger kids or anyone who prefers a different kind of creativity, there will be an option for pumpkin painting and even s’mores-making!
