NEW SKILLS AND FIRST FRIDAY CLASSES FEATURED THIS FALL AT COMPANY'S COMING!
There are lots of reasons to include a class at Company's Coming in your plans this fall. First, you will learn some easy to prepare and flavorful dishes. Second, you will learn some new food preparation and cooking skills. You'll hear the class discuss all kinds of restaurants, food and wine issues. And in addition to meeting new people, you'll have a great time! And there is no better time to try a class than before the holiday season.
We are introducing "First Fridays" classes this fall. These classes, held the first Friday of each month, will focus on preparing three plates from one area of the world at each session. A wine or aperitif will be selected to complement the food. Running from just 7 to 8:30, the First Friday classes will cost $45 a person and are a perfect way to end the workweek - and begin the weekend.
This fall's roster of classes includes lots of new foods and experiences for your enjoyment. We will be weaving some favorite recipes into new classes and meals for you to try. We will begin the season with a visit from Alicia Groncki of Sharpen This who will discuss the proper care and maintenance of your knives. Our very popular Saveur series will feature some beloved Italian Tuscan food traditions this fall. A series of holiday classes will get you ready for a big crowd or a small dinner with your favorite folks.
Plan early if you want to have a Custom Class for a group of family, friends or business associates this fall or during the holiday season. There is always an occasion that deserves a special class. We have been doing a wide range of special classes this year for social occasions as well as some fun team building for professional groups.
