Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this basic cooking class:

In three relaxed, fun-filled classes, we'll get you on your cooking feet, teaching you how to prepare simple, healthful, delicious food.

You want to make great food in a minimum amount of time but don't have a clue how to go about it. Or you're on your own for the first time and have discovered that eating out is expensive and takeout is tiresome. You need a small repertoire of dishes for daily dining but you can just about manage instant coffee. Sounds like you? Then this is the course to take. We assume you know nothing---absolutely nothing---about cooking and take it from there.

You'll learn about basic cooking equipment and menu planning; knife skills, including vegetable chopping and paring; how to make salad, vinaigrette, and other easy no-cook dishes; how to roast garlic and root vegetables; how to prepare delicious pasta; how to sauté and roast meats and other foods; and how to make desserts in minutes.

You will learn to make three complete meals in three easy lessons,
  1. Guacamole and Chips, Make-Your-Own Taco Bar, and Ice Cream Tiramisu;
  2. Classic Caesar Salad, Roast Cornish Hens with Root Vegetables, and Blueberry Crisp;
  3. Shrimp Cocktail, Garlic Bread; 

including:

  • Pasta with Roasted Red and Yellow Pepper Sauce,
  • Arugula and Radicchio Salad with Apples and Glazed Walnuts,
  • and Chocolate Pudding Cake.

Students enrolling in this MUST attend the first session of the class in order to participate in the rest of the series. If you are unable to attend the first session, please do not enroll.

Note: We serve wine in our classes. It is against our policy for guests to bring in any type of alcoholic beverages.

14 business days withdrawal notice is required for a refund; but please note a transaction fee will be deducted from the refund for each and every class seat registration that is canceled by the registrant/student based on the following scale:

  • classes up to $125 will incur a $20 fee.
  • classes in the $126-$350 range will have a $30 fee.
  • classes valued over $351 will incur a $50 fee.

When a class is dropped 3-13 business days prior to the start date, only school class credit will be issued, and the corresponding transaction fee will be deducted. Rescheduling a class entails a cancellation and, therefore, a transaction fee will still be charged to customers.
