You’ll see our pasta nights are fall themed for the season. Our regular pasta class will be back this winter. We know you’re going to love the fall sauces we have planned!

In September, we are celebrating Sterling’s Fiesta Parade and Festival week with a Taco Trio Fiesta class featuring beef, chicken, and fish tacos, fresh toppings, and plenty of flavor - one for kids too!

NEW French Bistro Night 🇫🇷
This is one Chef Adrian has been craving to teach. He is bringing his fine dining experience back to his home kitchen for an evening inspired by the warmth and magic of a French bistro.

NEW Chef’s Table: Harvest Style 🍁
This is not a cooking class. It is your invitation to sit back, relax, and watch the Chef prepare a four-course harvest dinner before enjoying each course together, casual dinner party style. No cooking required. Just come hungry and enjoy the experience.

We are giving away 4 tickets to any cooking class on the fall calendar!!
(2 winners will win two tickets)

An unforgettable evening at The Hohlen Homestead ✨😌🌼🌳 The Hohlen Homestead

We are still in awe over the incredible evening at The Hohlen Homestead this weekend. 🤍 The Hohlen Homestead

Our guests toured The Homestead with The Hohlen’s, gathered around for an outdoor cooking class filled with fresh ingredients from the garden and some hands-on learning and cooking with Chef Adrian. We made a delicious coffee rub beef with some unique vegetables exclusive to The Hohlen Homestead. Have you ever heard of a red noodle bean? They are a little sweeter than green beans and made the perfect addition to our farm to table dish for the evening! We also made a maple vinaigrette for our greens starter from the maple sap/ syrup right from The Hohlen Homestead.

It was so fun to see the ingredients come to life and the smiles on our guests faces during this experience. We had many birthday and wedding anniversaries to celebrate and we could not have asked for a more amazing group and turnout, and somehow… the rain held off just long enough for us to enjoy every moment together!! We feel very blessed by that!

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this evening so special. This includes everyone behind the scenes that helps with our families, pets, drop offs. We couldn’t do it without the village.

We’re already looking forward to the next one in September (which has one ticket left!) & hopefully to many more next year too! 😊

We are so excited for our first outdoor event tomorrow! We are hoping the rain will hold off in the afternoon because we are still on!

You must have a ticket for this event!

We’re so excited to announce something special for this summer! 😌

We’re partnering with The Hohlen Homestead for a one-of-a-kind outdoor cooking experience. Join us at The Hohlen Homestead in Dixon, IL for a guided garden tour, an outdoor farm to table cooking class with Chef Adrian, and a shared dinner on The Hohlen Homestead that will make for a perfect August night. ✨

We can’t wait to share this evening with you. Tickets are required and we have 12 seats available!
