Watch and learn from a fun and delightful local host how to make local classics such as Johnny cakes with garlicky shrimp and Maryland clams with linguine. If cooking is not for you, indulge in a hands-on baking class instead and learn to make thin-crust pizza, bread and cinnamon rolls from scratch. Karen is open to customizing your baking preferences!
