The Much-Requested Weekday Classes Are Here!

Never say we don’t listen!  That’s right – we had many requests to add some weekday cooking classes to our schedule, so we did. Look for these new classes in the new year. Taught by one of our newest, outstanding culinary instructors, Jackie Wilson, these classes will be held on various weekdays, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. The first three are now online for registration. Don’t miss out – they’re bound to fill quickly, so reserve your space in a class today!

Weekday Cooking Lessons with Chef Jackie:
Coffeehouse Breads
Tue, Jan 16,  10 a.m. – 2  p.m.
Limited Hands-On  |  Tastings, Coffee (of course) & Take-Home Bread
What is more compatible with your morning coffee or tea than fresh-baked breads like those you find in your favorite coffee shop? This class will focus on three mixing techniques: the muffin method, the biscuit method, and the creaming method, which will allow you to produce a variety of memorable breads quickly and easily in your own kitchen.  Come enjoy a morning of baking as we produce muffins, scones, and biscotti together.

Weekday Cooking Lessons with Chef Jackie:
Splendid Soups
Tue, Jan 30,  10 a.m. – 2  p.m.
Limited Hands-On  |  Tastings & Take-Home Soup
Not many things are more satisfying than a well-made homemade bowl of soup.  Once a few basic techniques are learned, you can let your imagination and personal tastes shine through in your soup creation.  The best soups are more than just dumping things into a stock pot!  Today we will learn stock making techniques as we make a Hearty Chicken Noodle Soup… good for winter ailments and a world apart from the canned variety.  Then Chef Jackie will educate us on the virtues and techniques of cream soups as she creates a Saffron Butternut Bisque and Baked Potato and Broccoli Cheese.

Weekday Cooking Lessons with Chef Jackie:
Brunch Egg-stravaganza
Mon, Feb 5,  10 a.m. – 2  p.m.
Limited Hands-On  |  Tastings
Whether it’s just the two of you on Sunday morning, or company for the weekend, eggs can be so much more than the usual scramble or the standard breakfast casserole. With a little creative effort, you can prepare eggs in unique ways with imaginative flavor combinations that will out-dazzle the morning sun!  In this class, students will learn, with some hands-on involvement, how to properly prepare shirred eggs, Frittatas, and Roulades; and the best part is much of the preparation can be done in advance, so breakfast or brunch can be quickly assembled. No wonder eggs are known as “The Chef’s Magic Ingredient.”
