Join us for a comprehensive concept in Cooking Classes! We had such a great response last year to this approach that we are reintroducing our“SIMPLIFY” series. Chef Scott Crim aims to simplify the process of cooking at home, save money at the grocery store and make planning meals easy. Don’t be a slave to recipes any longer – once you understand the techniques, you can trust your imagination to create exciting and delicious meals. Students at all levels of cooking ability are welcome to enroll, whether to learn new techniques, or brush up on methods they’ve used for years. The cooking classes will range from planning your pantry and essential equipment to the fundamental cooking techniques you’ll need to produce easy, healthy and well-planned meals. A portion of most classes will be hands-on, to ensure that students have a feel for the methods being discussed. Topics will include: baking, broiling, boiling, steaming, searing, grilling, sauteing, braising, blanching, and roasting. Classes may be taken individually for $50, or SIGN UP for the ENTIRE SERIES for $249 – making your last class FREE!
