IN THIS ISSUE: Discover Your Health Classes / Summer Seafood Classes

July, August, September 2013

Manager’s Message Summertime, summertime, sum…sum…summertime! It’s HOT outside and it’s HOT inside too! Wait…what? Not really, it’s cool inside the Cooking School but what we have to offer is “HOT”. We have many classes on seasonal, summer foods using the grill, slow cooker, as well as traditional methods. We have some new cuisines for you to try for the adventurous; Lebanese, Thai, French or Polynesian. Of course, we have our Seafood series classes for those who love the health benefits of seafood, but are unsure how to cook it to get the full benefits. And as always, we still offer all the healthy classes for those of you who don’t want to give up taste to eat healthier.

As usual, we have hands-on classes where you are right in the action cooking the recipes with the guidance of a chef. Or, if you prefer, relax and enjoy a night out with your spouse, loved one, or friends sampling the recipes while someone else cooks for you.

We can’t wait to see you soon because “you always get our best, here at the TCS.”

Kids’ Kitchenparents, do you have a child that loves watching the food network? does your child always run toward the kitchen to help out when you’re making dinner instead of away from it? do they talk about being a chef when they grow up? if so, then this is the place for them this Summer!

Every week includes making recipes from scratch, eating a meal, grocery shopping and/or set-up for the next day, playing daily games based on the week’s theme, and end of the week graduation meal for campers’ parents.
