ternational im’s In Ma J e rk gl n et Ju Dear Friends of the Cooking School, We have certainly enjoyed the spring and summer session at the Cooking School. The third annual culinary trip to Emilia-Romagna was amazing, especially the trip to Bologna for a class at Gelato University. If we weren’t obsessed with authentic Italian gelato before, we are now! Consider joining us in May 2016 as Don Govoni leads us on another unique and food-filled trip. We have photo albums of each trip on display at the school, so feel free to look at them and ask us questions. Many unique classes are being offered this fall. Dan Shatto of MadTree will be here to talk about beer and food pairings. If you are a fan of this local brewery, come join us. Not a fan of beer? Our wine and food classes continue to be popular. Carol Tabone is taking on Italian street food in October and local wine maker, Chip Emmerich of Burnet Ridge Winery, will bring his fine wine to pair with fine food in November. The bourbon pairing class is offered again because of the overwhelming demand. These classes always fill up, so register early! New for fall, we are offering Date Night cooking classes on two Friday nights. If you are looking for a fun experience with your partner, join Ellen Mueller for grilling on our indoor deck. A casual atmosphere, good food and friendly people are sure to make it a memorable night out. And of course, we have some great holiday classes planned. We’ve worked hard to present some holiday menus this fall that you’ll use year after year. Many of our students make it a tradition to join us each year for holiday classes and we look forward to seeing you in class. Thank you for your support of the cooking school.
