Holiday Cooking Classes in East Bay
Each holiday comes with a host of culinary possibilities. Some bake "lady's fingers" for Halloween — finger-shaped cookies with dyed-green almonds for nails. Other roast a lamb for Easter. Still, others create Christmas fruitcakes that make one wonder how the dessert ever gained a poor reputation. East Bay holiday cooking classes add to any season's appeal. With them, one can create one's own new traditions, or improve on the old ones.
