Chocolate: The Herb of Romance

Out at Chef John Folse's White Oak Plantation, culinary herbalist Sarah Liberta leads a class on the ins and outs of chocolate—white, milk, and dark; unsweetened, semisweet, and sweet; the fact that it's an herb—along with a chef's cooking demonstration. The class extends to a three-course lunch prepared by Folse and a tour of White Oak's strategically-planted gardens. Attendees will take home helpful articles, recipes, and a complimentary herb plant. 11 am–2 pm. $50; reservations via Eventbrite. (225) 296-8008 or herbsbysarah@cox.net.
