Southern Season is the big kitchenware store located in Mt. Pleasant. How big is big? In many ways, Southern Season has become a Charleston ‘destination’ in and of itself. It’s like Charleston Cooks on steroids—a place where you can find virtually any kitchen gadget, utensil, and food/beverage-related item you can think of. On May 5, Julie Thogmartin led an eager group of Iron Chef wannabes to the Southern Season Cooking School. The result—see Julie’s words below—was history:
“This was a great cooking class. Our meal started with a field green salad with a creamy vinaigrette dressing, followed by red pepper soup with cheesy biscuits, grits and pork tenderloin medallions, and chocolate chess pie for dessert. All were complemented with wine. Best of all: a 10% coupon for merchandise!”
Sounds delicious. Look for more great cooking classes next season. These are always fun gatherings—a great opportunity to meet neighbors, enjoy a meal, and learn a bit more about different cuisines.
