What cooking techniques and skills will I master?

Try your hand at making masterful macarons, take your taste buds on a journey to the bistros of Paris or recreating rustic Tuscan fare using time-honored regional methods. Or keep things closer to home and learn how to get every bit of goodness out of your grill or your cast iron cookware.

You can learn the inner workings of a classic surf-and-turf dinner or bring the best of bistro dining into your home cooking line-up, similar to an experience at Marche Moderne or Pelican Grill. Expand your personal cooking book by learning to create traditional sushi dishes from a local master or give your cookie decorating game a sugary makeover with specialty sessions that focus on timeless techniques.

Where do the classes take place?
