Pack your basket and get ready to cook up the ultimate spread for sunny days and outdoor gatherings. In this hands-on class with Chef Amy, we’ll create a trio of crowd-pleasing dishes that are guaranteed to steal the show at any summer shindig.

First, you’ll learn the secrets to extra-crispy fried chicken—perfectly seasoned, golden, and irresistibly crunchy. Then we’ll make a creamy Japanese-style potato salad, known for its silky texture, balanced tang, and fresh mix-ins that make it a standout side dish. To finish on a sweet note, we’ll bake strawberry shortcake made with tender drop biscuits, topped with juicy strawberries and clouds of whipped cream.

Along the way, you’ll pick up tips for frying like a pro, balancing flavors in make-ahead dishes, and assembling desserts that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
