In this hands-on demo, Dick will showcase four mouthwatering recipes that highlight the versatility of hot sauces, spices, and cooking sauces—proving that heat is just one part of the equation.Using products from the Maine Gravy lineup, he’ll demonstrate how to incorporate them into everyday dishes for a quick and easy flavor boost, while sharing the stories behind the Maine farmers who grew the ingredients behind the sauces.

Attendees will get to sample each sauce/spice, discover new ways to use them in their own cooking, and even purchase their favorites to take home. Come hungry—this class isn’t just a lesson, it’s your lunch! Whether you're a heat seeker or a flavor enthusiast, this class will change the way you think about spice.

But wait, there's more! August 2-3 marks Wild Blueberry Weekend in Maine, a statewide celebration of the state’s beloved wild blueberries. We’re especially excited to host Dick for this event, as many of his signature sauces and condiments feature wild blueberries grown by Maine farmers. With a deep commitment to sourcing locally and building relationships with growers, Dick’s products showcase this iconic fruit in a whole new light. This class will highlight several of Maine Gravy’s wild blueberry products in celebration of Wild Blueberry Weekend.
