Our Cooking School has been teaching home cooks everything from pizza making to the creation of elegant holiday buffets for almost 45 years. We have a reputation for intimate, informal classes on a wide range of topics taught by local chefs and other esteemed experts. It’s easy to register online.

Our winter/spring schedule is now open for registration.
