Manager’s Message Welcome to the holiday edition of the Cooking School newsletter. I like to think of this newsletter as the “family newsletter”, as this is the months when families get together; young and old, near and far, to celebrate the holidays. And how do we celebrate? With food as the focal point, of course! Let the Cooking School classes help you with party planning, MESSAGE FROMMESSAGE THE MANAGER gather new menus and recipes to share with family and friends! We offer wine and beer pairings, and hands on classes for adults. We have all new “Health classes” to get you through these times of parties and family gatherings, so you can forgo that dreaded “diet” come January. Whether you are a novice cook or a seasoned pro, the Cooking School can offer you new ideas for great taste creations, so come on in, bring a friend, join in the party, and have some fun, where at The Cooking School, “A Good Cook is Born each Day!” Grace Hanusin Regional Cooking School Manager KIDS’ CLASSES PAGE 2-6 This time of year is a magical time, especially for kids.
