Hands-On Cooking Class

Join us in the Watergrasshill kitchen studio for a fun night cooking and enjoying a delicious homemade meal. Chef Melissa Walnock from the CIA Apple Pie Bakery Cafe will lead the live, hands-on class through the tasty menu of fresh caesar salad, homemade gnocchi and lemon focaccia. 

Our classes are designed for people with a passion for food and a desire to learn. That being said, we believe that a cooking class is just as much about learning as it is about enjoying your time doing so. You'll work together with other students in a fun, hands-on environment led by our professional chef instructors. By the end of the evening our goal is for you to be feeling blissful, content and ready to impress your friends and family with your newly acquired cooking skills.
