Awesome ideas! Thanks so much. Especially the pandemic ideas as well as diet specific. Officially out from under the fuzz 😁

Smalltowngirl - maybe pick some themes and post them soon on a social media site for people to indicate which class they'd be most interested in taking.
Their reactions may then help you focus your planning.
Possible themes:
• Retro or traditional American
• Other national cuisines that have strong Christmas food traditions (Sweden, Italy, France...)
• Tailored to particular nutrients - vegan, GF, dairy free, etc.
• Menus for small gatherings under pandemic restrictions.
Wishing you success with your class(es)!
