About Just Simply… Cuisine Classes

Cooking class menus change daily and feature ingredients that reflect the seasons and our moods. Menu items are decided upon close to the day of class once we see what’s most enticing at the markets. Basic through advanced skill levels are addressed while a variety of kitchen skills and techniques are integrated throughout each session. No one know what we’re cooking… all we ask is if there are any food restrictions and we take it from there.

We cook fresh, local and seasonal. Classes cover all skill levels, last about 3 hours and include participation instruction, 3-4 menu items and Pellegrino with techniques and tips integrated throughout. We have a BYO vino format.
