Join Cambridge Center for Adult Education’s Celebrity Chef Master Class series with, you guessed it, celebrity chefs, for an unforgettable cooking and learning experience. Roll up your sleeves and learn cooking techniques side-by-side with local culinary stars. On Wednesday, November 7, from 6 – 9, Tony Maws, chef and owner of Craigie On Main and The Kirkland Tap and Trotter, presents Chef’s Whim: Farmer’s Market Squashes. One of Tony’s favorite fall finds at the farmers market is the large variety of colorful and delicious squash. Tony will lead us in hands-on learning as he shares secrets of seasonal squash in all its shapes, sizes and colors, and teach us various ways to cook this fall favorite. This is a perfect primer before Thanksgiving too! Class will be held at 42 Brattle Street in Cambridge.

As chef/owner of the acclaimed Craigie On Main in Cambridge and The Kirkland Tap & Trotter in Somerville, Tony prepares fresh local vegetables as stars of the plate at both his restaurants.
