Summer Cooking Classes
With Phil Dunn
JUNE - AUGUST 2023
School may be over for the year, but my newest cooking classes are just getting started. (This is the kind of Summer School you will really enjoy!) Summer is the ideal time to perfect your cooking skills, upgrade some familiar dishes, and discover some new culinary delights. These classes are great for a date night, a family get-together, a night out with friends, or a team-building experience.
Don't forget that Gift Certificates are available and make great presents!
