THE MAIN COURSE: KITCHEN BASICS AND BEYOND
with Cecily Gans
Learn
kitchen fundamentals and essentials such as knife skills and cooking
methods (sautéing, searing, grilling, roasting, braising, etc.) to
complete basic functions throughout the kitchen, all the while building
your repertoire of ingredients and flavors. Each evening will focus on
several components: an introduction to techniques, new and seasonal
ingredients, blending of complementary flavors and the preparation of a
simple, yet contemporary menu. Students will be encouraged to put on an
apron, take part in all aspects of preparing the meal and learn through
hands-on practical application, preceded by thorough demonstration.
Each menu will consist of several courses and, generally, a dessert.
For specific menu information and recipes check the website below
and follow the link to the Continuing Education page.

 COOKING WITH PARENTS AND KIDS (Children ages 7 & up) ~
The best way to
introduce kids to new foods is to get them participating in the
preparation and cooking of their meals. You and your child will learn
basic cooking skills, prepare and taste some delicious quick and easy
dishes, and get recipes you can take home. Spend a fun Saturday morning
on a culinary adventure with you child! (Instructor, Chef Daniel
