Hot-Pot Class
The Chinese tradition of hot-pot dining dates back several hundred years, and is one of the most enjoyable communal eating experiences around. For those unfamiliar with this age-old tradition, Ocean Mart in Sandy (115 W. 9000 South, 801-255-1118) hosts a class that covers the preparation basics. Attendees learn how to prepare a flavorful broth used to cook a variety of meat and veggies, along with a few dipping sauces. The class takes place on Tuesday, March 26, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., and includes everything you need to get started. Tickets are $25 and available via Eventbrite.
