This class will be geared toward beginners, but more skilled cooks will probably pick up some great tips and tricks learned over the years. Fundamental understanding will be the focus, rather than just following a recipe, and more advanced options will be given alongside techniques to simplify dishes.
Because this is the first in this series of cooking classes, it will be limited to 8 PRE-PAID attendees. No money will be taken at the door. Future classes may be bigger or smaller.
