Seasonal menus can include lamb, salmon, potatoes, greens, and dessert. Vegetarian and gluten-free options require advance notice.

“My adult sons and I participated in this cooking experience. We had a wonderful time - shopping locally, helping with the food prep, and then enjoying a great and diverse meal. Iris was a perfect hostess. She even purchased fermented shark for us to try. That was an experience. Iris provided a very relaxed as well as educational experience for us. I would definitely recommend!”
