Cooking Classes in May

Here are some of our upcoming cooking classes in May. We don't have online registration quite yet (although it's very very close), so if you'd like to sign up for a class, simply stop by the store or give us a call at 734.827.2665.


KNIFE SKILLS
Tuesday, May 15, 6:30pm – 8:30pm, $35

Knife safety, the anatomy of a knife, how to stone-sharpen and hone a knife, how to care for your knife, and basic knife skill motion are all covered. Then slice and dice your way through the ingredients of a basic stock. It is highly recommended that you bring your own chef's knife as each one is an individual. Plus, you get a free sharpening. Very Hands-on.


DINNER AND A COOKING CLASS -- ITALIAN
Wednesday, May 16
, 6:30pm – 8:30pm, $35
Expand your international technique and flavor-pairing skills while enjoying a meal of Panzanella, seasonal braised fish, hand-made pasta, and lemon-ameretti-semifreddo.

BOOT CAMP - STOCKS AND SOUPS
Sunday, May 20, 1:00pm – 4:00pm, $60
Learn how to build layers of flavor by making stock from scratch, then a consomme and finish it off by making a pureed white bean soup from our stock take home for dinner. Very hands-on. NOTE: Hot liquids and sharp knives, so please wear long pants and closed-toe shoes.

On the Web!

Yes, we finally have a web presence. Isn't it grand?

We now have our cooking class schedule available as a google calendar. (Subscribing to google's calendar service is free and does NOT require to you use gmail or any of their other services. For the moment, it is the simplest approach we have to creating a public calendar. If you have strong objections or suggestions for alternatives, please let us know by email or by a comment on this post.)

We will also have all upcoming wine tastings and such.

Check the sidebar.

And don't miss the Drink Local First tasting coming up this Friday! Details below.
