Here is my summer schedule. I'm teaching at A Southern Season, the Raleigh Whole Foods Market and other locations. I won't offer any classes at my home until late August.
- Looking for an entertaining activity for visiting family and friends?
- How about a team-building activity for co-workers?
- Are you hosting your garden club, book club or girls' night out?
- Need a special birthday party idea or creative bridal shower?
The solution is a Custom Cooking class for your group! A private class designed especially for you is a great way to entertain and feed your friends. I can come to your location or you can come to my kitchen. Please call 919-967-5067 to schedule a class.
