Cooking Along with Dave Becker—This Time You Cook Too!

Registration begins August 19 for this November 1 event!


In collaboration with Needham Community Education, Meatless Monday Needham is offering another meatless event with Dave Becker, chef-owner of Sweet Basil and Juniper restaurants. 
 

For this cooking class, you will pick up a meal kit at Juniper and cook at home while watching Dave cook in his home kitchen. Just do what he does to produce your own restaurant quality meal that serves three. The double screen allows you to see him and his stovetop at the same time.
