Demo + Tasting + Book

Location: Kitchen Collage, 430 E. Locust Street | Des Moines, IA 50309

This isn’t your ordinary book club but it is certainly Kitchen Collage’s take on one that is for sure.

Join us for our February Kitchen Collage Cookbook Club, featuring SHORTS by Milk Street — a fresh, modern cookbook that proves big flavor doesn’t have to take all day. Chef Nela will lead this demonstration-style class, showcasing how smart techniques and bold ingredients can turn quick recipes into standout meals.

With your class registration, you’ll receive a copy of SHORTS to take home and cook from again and again. During class, Chef Nela will demonstrate and serve three favorite recipes from the book, highlighting Milk Street’s globally inspired flavors and time-saving approaches.

At Kitchen Collage, our classes focus on technique and community — building kitchen confidence while bringing people together to cook, taste, and connect.

Perfect for busy cooks who still want great food on the table — fast.
