Now that I am in my fifth season of teaching cooking classes at the Inn I have had the opportunity to meet and teach some great people. SO without further adieu here are the ten reasons taking one of my classes is a blast.
1. Learn a new skill My hope is that even the seasoned cook can take away some new knowledge from my class.
2. Meet new people In this age of texting and computers, the human element of just talking and meeting seems sometimes lost. The cooking class brings people together on common ground.
3. Try new foods “Variety is the spice of life” and my classes have lots of spice and herbs too!!
4. Getting to play with your food If your Mom was like mine she said to stop playing with my food….in this class it is not only allowed, it is encouraged.
5. Work with SHARP knives Okay, maybe that sounds scary, but I will show you how to work that knife like a pro, and to maintain the edge for a sharp and safe cutting experience.
6. Play 20 questions I love questions, and the more that are asked the more others learn, so bring it on, and try to stump the chef!!
7. Aromas My staff comes in the kitchen asking what smells will I be teasing them with today, since the aromas waft through the house. We not only get to smell the food, we get to eat it as well.
8. Using some new gadgets Try it before you buy it right here in my kitchen.
9. Eating and Drinking We get to eat the fruits of our labor along with a glass of wine selected to pair with the meal.
10. DESSERT!! Need I say more.
A cooking class makes a great activity to do together with friends, is a great gift for the epicurean in your family and who knows, maybe you will even get a laugh or two while you are here.
We have classes going all the time, and the days, and times vary, just give us a call and we can discuss what day would work best for you, and what it is you really want to learn.
