Prices Increase, 20% Discount Maintained There are so many people that benefit from having Community Kitchens at both North Coast Co- op locations. In the first months of 2016 we have shared the space with Veterans, Master Food Preservers and youth groups. And those of you who attend our cooking classes have surely enjoyed the wonderful array of fresh, organic dishes that we have offered recently from Chef Jon’s Pepper Prawns to Fresh Pasta for Chef Michael’s Bolognese and Creamy Mornay Lasagna. As you take a peek at the up-coming classes, you will find that our class prices have experienced a slight increase. We’re still offering our generous 20% off Co-op Member discount on all classes and workshops, plus we have secured another wonderful schedule with the chefs and instructors that you have come to love. This increase in price is necessary to maintain the standard of quality and equipment you expect to see when you come to class. It also allows us to keep the class sizes small and intimate so that you can have the most enjoyable experience possible. Additionally, we hope to obtain an alcohol permit for the Arcata Kitchen so look forward to wine in those classes in the future. We hope that you will agree that the experience you have when you are a guest in our classes and workshops is worth the increased costs. Our kitchens are unique and our favorite part of the classes are the familiar faces we get to share each class experience with. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your Co-op experience.
