Don't forget about the last part of the class . . . enjoying the great dishes you just helped to prepare!
The dishes we prepare in our classes will vary depending on the time of year. In thew fall and winter, you will enjoy learning to bake holiday treats . . . cookies, cakes and even Swedish Tea Rings. In the warmer months, we also offer grilling classes which will cover preparation of various meats . . . Ribs, Steak, Chicken, Seafood and also deserts. Deserts on the grill?!?!?! . . . oh yes, grilled pound cake, peaches or even avocados. Just wait until you try them!
