THREE COOKING CLASSES


I'm glad to be able to offer you some very special cooking classes. The classes will be held in a beautiful home kitchen in Blauvelt, NY.

Three classes are scheduled, all on a Saturday for 3 hours, from 1:30pm to 4:30pm: October 29th, November 19th, and December 10th.

There is room for only six people; that's five people plus the homeowner.The cost will be $60 for each class, including groceries, payable at the session or in advance.

The menu will be comprised from the countries bordering the Mediterranean: France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Morocco. Here are the menu possibilities I am thinking of for the first class in October:

Three Courses to include one of each of the following:

Mushroom and Blue Cheese Fennel Galette OR a Spinach and Feta Oregano Galette
Bouillabaisse with Rouille OR Duck a l'Orange
Grilled Vegetables with Romesco Sauce

Castanaccio (Chestnut Cake) OR Fruit Clafoutis


And I will bring a special cheese to share along with one of my 
homemade seasonal fruit jams to taste.

The November and December class menu is still to be determined and will be based upon what the class would like to learn. The Farmers' Markets will be open for October and November and I might alter the menu depending upon what is locally available.

The class will be very small and will fill up quickly. Since it will be in a private home, if I don't know you already I will have to meet with you prior to confirming your attendance.

If you have any questions, please email (info@cookingontheriver.com), OR
phone (845-365-0042),OR leave a comment here.

I am very happy to be able to offer you these special sessions! If you are interested, do not delay.
