These classes will be held on consecutive Tuesday evenings from 5 to about 9 pm, with the first

will be plenty of time to ask questions and to discuss techniques as well as elements of the
unique cuisine of the evening. You will not only learn to prepare some of the best national
dishes, but you'll also learn that it's not very time consuming or difficult to do. You can make
fabulous meals at home.

What Peter has to say about
cooking......

What Peter has to say about cooking:
"I've been in the hospitality business since I
opened my first coffee shop at age 14. It's not
that hard to prepare good food. You don't
need a complicated recipe or fancy tools, but a
few skills that I can show you will make you
feel comfortable with yourself in the kitchen
and that's what it's all about. We'll cover
knife skills, sauteing, braising and sauces and
we'll talk about knowing your ingredients and
flavors. These skills are transferable to
other cuisines and styles of cooking and will
serve you well."
Cooking is fun!
So I'm offering classes. Initially, we'll have
three nights, each focusing on a different
cuisine; French, Greek, and Italian. You will
learn and prepare appetizers, salads, soups,
entrees, sides and desserts from each. You
will slice, saute and simmer fresh local (where
practical) ingredients. So whether you can't
boil water, or want to learn how to keep your
bearnaise from breaking, join me in the kitchen.
Then we'll eat!
Karen will also be joining us, and may be
offering additional classes on pies and
pastries, breads, non-european cuisines and ice
cream. Yum!
Sign up for one class or for all three. Just
call or email to register for these classes.
Cook, Eat, Enjoy!

Offerings: We are thinking about more classes. Possible offerings include partnering with our local cheesemaker at the West River Creamery for a course on cheesemaking. We also have been discussing with a dancing instructor the possiblity of holding a series of simple dinners combined with dance classes. And of course, we'd love to have more cooking classes--the last series was very fun. If you like the idea of any of these, or if you would like to see us do something special, please call us or email us with your input. We'll plan accordingly. |
