My daughter and I went to a cooking class at Stonewall Kitchen Cooking School. We’ve been there before, and it’s always a treat. This was the first class taught by Jane St Pierre that we’ve been to, but hopefully not the last. She is a wonderful teacher, warm and funny, but most importantly, she knows what she’s talking about. In addition to treating us to her delicious original recipes, she shares lots of cooking tips and tricks, and also welcomes them from the audience.
How do I know? Because I offered one! I got a little jam for my trouble.
The only challenging aspect of attending classes here is the seating. The seats are high aluminum (I think) chairs that are hard to pull up to the tables and very cold on bare legs. Leave the flip-flops at home; it’s work to keep them on when sitting on the tall chair. You can request handicapped seating, which will get you regular size chairs that are lower to the floor, hence easier to get in and out of (but still that cold aluminum). Also, the front row fills up early. We got there almost an hour ahead of time and the front row was already taken.
Coffee, tea, and water were free. Wine and beer were available by the glass, but cost extra.
Our class cost $60, and was three courses, and the recipes for all were given to us in a handout.
I loved everything she made.
Bottom line: Go, at least once. They are so much fun!
