What you'll do

July: Leave Your Mess at Home by Tolani Akinola Part Three: What We Carry begins with a book that invites honest conversation about emotional baggage, expectations, family dynamics, and the weight we carry that may not belong to us. Midsummer is the right moment to pause and ask what needs to be released. Culinary We cook with peak summer tomatoes and learn to reduce. As water cooks off, flavor concentrates, and what stays behind is stronger for what it released. You'll learn to judge a reduction by sight, smell, and spoon.

In the culinary classroom, we bring the technique, and you bring what you're ready to put down. Together we'll ask what no longer serves you and what freedom would look like right now. You'll leave with one call to action to carry into August.
