    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.

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.

    One of the country’s most respected chefs, Tony Maws is a champion of our local farmers markets and sustainable practices. 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. A James Beard award winner, Tony has traveled the world in pursuit of food and wine knowledge, and shares his experiences through culinary gems at both Craigie On Main and The Kirkland Tap & Trotter. $120.

You may register for these classes at the link above. We are publicizing these classes rather early because spaces are limited and they are sure to sell out quickly.
