Host a stunning gluten-free dinner party without sacrificing flavor. In this hands-on class with Chef Julia LeRoy, you'll prepare a full summer menu that's naturally gluten-free from starter to dessert — proving that gluten-free entertaining can be every bit as delicious and impressive as a traditional spread.

We'll start with a creamy, crowd-pleasing Vidalia Onion Dip, made with Georgia's own sweet onions for the perfect make-ahead party starter. Next, you'll fire up the grill for Berbere Chicken Skewers, showcasing the warm, complex spice of Ethiopian berbere seasoning in a dish that's equal parts bold and approachable.

Alongside, we'll prepare Grilled Veggies with Yogurt Sauce, a vibrant, herb-flecked dish that highlights peak summer produce with a cooling, tangy finish. We'll round out the plate with Carolina Gold Rice, a heritage Southern grain with a delicate texture and nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with grilled dishes. To finish, you'll build a Peach Parfait, layering juicy summer peaches into a light, elegant dessert that's the perfect ending to a warm-weather meal.
