Learn everything you need to know about cooking and a lot more
by Nathan Stull
The Scene
Two types of classes are offered: demonstration and hands-on. Demonstration classes put you in the audience as you watch a master chef create the food you'll get to taste later. Food subjects range from Italian to Thai to barbecue. Hands-on classes place you in your own cooking station as the chef instructor walks you step-by-step through techniques ranging from knife skills to grilling and roasting. Everything is provided, including an apron. And of course, you get to eat what you make.
The Skinny
Classes tend to fill up fast, so planning ahead is key. Regular subject matter includes knife basics, soups and stocks, sauces, sauteing and pan-frying, steaming and braising, poaching and stewing. They also offer classes for couples and special subjects like sushi, wine tasting, tapas, Dim Sum and more. If you liked the pans or utensils you used during class, you can purchase them at the front desk, where many products are on display.

Great gift
by jallington
I gave a class as a wedding gift to some friends. Not only did they love it, they signed up for more. From what I hear, you need to register early now because the classes are getting popular.
- Pros: fun, gift idea, original idea
