Cooking With Class

I was given a gift card for classes as a wedding present, only to find out they have stopped giving classes to the public; they’re now only doing private and corporate events.
Linda was nice and offered to send us a check for the gift card balance… this is mostly a PSA to Unilocalers to let you know they’re no longer doing cooking classes for the po’ folk who can’t afford to put on a private cooking school event.

I’ve been here a few times for their cooking classes. It’s a really neat layout –a few long tables set up, class room style i guess. The classes never seem over packed and it’s a really cozy environment to learn how to cook.
There’s a full kitchen that the chef instructor utilizes for the class. There are lots of flat screen TVs that are up high so that everyone in class can see what the instructor is preparing. In the classes I’ve been to, everything the chef preps, the students get to sample — and i mean these are BIG samples. They have ppl actually serving you plates of what is being taught how to make! AND they also serve sample wines with the sample dishes.
It’s really a good deal, especially w/​this current economy. I think the classes now are at $ 49. But again, it comes w/​food and wine :) And everyone there is so friendly.
