Cooking Classes with Mrs. Wheelbarrow: Schedule through August, 2010

It's Springtime in the garden and everything is greening up. At the same time, our menus change to take full advantage of the fresh foods available. Peas, asparagus, lamb, new salad greens, young beets, the first strawberries.

We're just a few weeks away from delicious fresh produce appearing at farmstands and farmers' markets. I plan to do my best to enjoy in season foods and preserve the fresh bounty (CanORama)

Exciting News! I'm Teaching!

For several years, friends have encouraged me to offer cooking classes. In fact, I've even done plenty of impromptu instruction (how to chop an onion/shallot/garlic, rolling out a pie crust, chocolate making, tofu tricks, knife skills) and it's all been well recieved. Sometime last summer, I started to think more and more about holding classes in my kitchen.

Last month, I sent an email around to a few friends who had indicated an interest. I asked them to gather some friends and come to a class, just to give me a chance to practice, to see if I liked it, how my kitchen would work, and to see if I even *could* teach.

Right before New Years, I held an appetizer class. Six students gathered around and we made tasty, fancy appetizers. We all had a lot of fun. Then, in mid-January, I offered a Dinner Party class - six people came, watched and participated, and in under three hours, appetizer, main course and dessert were made (no prep! all before their eyes!) About a week later, I showed another group how to put together three healthy soups, and how to make it all fancy-schmancy with some garnishes.

I am here to report that

1) The students seemed to have a good time while learning recipes, tips and tricks.
2) I had fun. And,
3) I want to keep teaching.

So, (drumroll, please!) here is the Spring Class Schedule in Mrs. Wheelbarrow's Kitchen.
Classes are $50. each
Prepay, and four classes are the price of three - $150.
