HOLIDAY
MEMORY-MAKERS
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX WITH SEASONAL GIFTS THAT CREATE UNFORGETTABLE
EXPERIENCES.
BY STEVE LANAHAN
Dish it up
Whether your recipient is a seasoned chef or an amateur home cook, a cooking class can help sharpen any culinarian’s skills.
At Chefs’ Haven in Hockessin, Chef
Mark Eastman offers lessons for both novices and veterans, where participants can learn proper techniques for preparing fish, meat, sauces and soups. The artisan baker—who once worked as a food stylist for celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse—teaches everything from global culinary techniques to preparing plant-based meals. For those who need help with the basics, consider the Essentials classes in January. More experienced food preparers might enjoy a private class (available for six to 10 guests), in which they can craft their own unique menu. For class calendars, gift certificates and more, visit chefshavende.com.
Explore the arts
Impress the art lover in your life by gifting them a membership to the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington or the Center
for the Creative Arts in Yorklyn. Museum members receive unlimited general admission, benefits for the children
and grandchildren in their household, and discounts at the café and museum store all year round. Exhibitions feature local art and rotating collections, such
as The Rossettis, which is on display for
the first time in the U.S. For those who enjoy a more hands-on experience, the museum offers drawing, metalsmithing, painting and photography classes. CCArts also offers a wide variety of classes and workshops in art, music, dance and drama for all ages and abilities, as well as open mic nights. Visit delart.org and ccarts.org.
Gifting a cooking class brings joy long after the holiday season.
