FALL COOKING PROGRAM 2016 auroragov.org/cooking 1891 2016 AURORA, YEARS Welcome Dear Aurora Cooks Community! Hope you are enjoying this fall harvest time of year. We are gearing up for cooler weather and shorter days as we wind down our growing season. Check out all our garden-to-table classes and new series this session! We have The Preserved Pantry, the Frugal Chef and Scratch Baking Basics, as well as many family, kids and teen classes highlighting food from every corner of the world. If you are looking for something to do on a chilly evening, come to a cooking class date night! You can even come with a friend, or as a single. We have some exciting new couples cooking classes, including the Fleetwood Mac Tribute Dinner, complete with music during the class! Come jam out to some tunes and cook with us. See you soon in the kitchen!
