Winter School Series: Spices, Rubs, and Salts Class

Explore the wild side of flavor in this immersive class where you’ll craft custom spice blends, infused sugars, and rubs inspired by the forests, orchards, and fields of Northern Michigan. Guided by our culinary team, you’ll learn how to balance aromatics, sweetness, heat, texture, and regional ingredients to create blends that elevate both sweet and savory dishes. From smoked cherry rubs to lavender sugars to herb-forward blends made with local botanicals, you’ll mix, taste, and refine your creations—then package them to take home.

Along the way, enjoy food pairings and optional Black Star Farms wine selections that highlight how these custom flavors shine in the kitchen. A class for curious cooks, bakers, grillers, and anyone who loves playing with flavor!
