Zest!, a local, one-of-a-kind home goods and kitchen supply store located in Lititz, hosts cooking classes year round, which feature a wide variety of culinary specialties, such as spiralizing vegetables, CSA shares, gluten-free holidays, along with basic classes on pie making, braising, soups and weeknight dinners that include many gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan recipes.

Classes are demonstration-style. Students interact with the chef while the meal is prepared, taste the prepared recipes, and take home the recipe packet to recreate the dish at home. Participants receive 10 percent off everything in the store on the night of the class. Class schedules are available on the website, with the option to receive notifications of upcoming classes by joining the Zest! email list.

Owned by Sharon and Jim Landis, Zest! is filled to the brim with everything foodie, including gourmet foods, premium herbs and spices, kitchen gadgets, cookware, knives and more. “Our classes give confidence to the novice cook, as well as expand the repertoire of the experienced cook,” notes Sharon. “They appeal to the foodie in all of us,” she enthuses.

Location: 30 E. Main St., Lititz. For more information, call 717-626-6002, email [email protected] or visit ZestChef.com.
