Basics of Cooking: A Cooking Class for Absolute Beginners-Great Gift Idea for College Students!

NOTE: This class was moved from Sat 7/24. 

Maybe you are on your own for the first time and have discovered that eating out is expensive and take-out is tiresome.  (College bound? Newly married? Loss of a spouse? Recently divorced? etc.), or maybe you just think it’s time you learned how to cook (or cook better) - darn it!!  You desperately need a small repertoire of dishes for daily dining, but you can barely manage instant coffee. Sound like you? Then this is the class for you. 

Tonight’s instructor, Chef Erik Sharp, has a resume that includes years of cooking and of baking experience under his belt as Pastry Chef for Kansas City’s renowned American Restaurant, former owner of Three Spoons of Sugar, and more, so you can bet your toque that he can teach you a LOT about the basics of cooking.  

Chef Erik who is a consummate professional and (patient!) culinary Instructor, will assume you know nothing---absolutely nothing---about cooking and we take it from there. He’ll get you on your cooking feet and on your way to preparing simple, delicious food in not time. You'll also will get the chance to practice some of the culinary techniques taught in class as you help Chef with some of tonight's cooking activities.

We will learn about basic cooking equipment and menu planning plus essential culinary skills like basic knife skills and more.

In this informative cooking class, you’ll learn to make dishes that can easily be varied and that will take you well beyond Ramen Noodles and Spaghetti-O’s!  (C’mon….you  know who you are!)
