Cooking classes

[jamiesquared.livejournal.com]

I love to cook and I would like to take some gourmet style cooking classes for fun. Any places come to mind when I mention this to you? If you have taken any type of cooking class can you recommend where you took it for me :)

The Cambridge School of Culinary Arts (http://www.cambridgeculinary.com). I only took a knife skills class there, and that was pretty basic (a bit more so than I expected), but well-taught and fun. Their recreational class openings are here (http://www.cambridgeculinary.com/schedule.asp).

I second CSCA! I took the sushi class there and it was great!

What age group were the people in your class?

What age demographic would you say was there? I am hoping to also meet some people my age :) I am 25.

Definitely mostly younger people- I'm 22 and I went with my mom, but there were several younger couples. I'd say 20s and 30s for the most part.

That sounds perfect!

It looked like mostly people in their mid 20s to late 30s.

My husband took a class in Spanish cooking through the Cambridge Center for Adult Education (http://www.ccae.org/catalog/courses/?id=9) and recommends them. I think Boston has a similar program, but I don't remember the name of it.

Also, the Cambridge Culinary School (http://www.cambridgeculinary.com/recreational.aspx) offers some recreational classes.

Good luck, and enjoy!

i can recommend Zeer (http://www.zeer.com/) as a place to read up on your gourmet grocery choices. If you come up with any particularly tasty recipes, you can alert that community of your amazing findings!

Cool site , thank you.

when you say gourmet, do you mean fancier dishes? If so, yeah, probably the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts. Or maybe the new Le Cordon Bleu? http://www.bostonculinaryarts.com/programs/

err, but yeah, I have taken lots of cooking classes at CCAE and they were fun. I also took one with Helen Rennie and that was good too (but space is very limited!!).

I guess food that isnt your basic chicken or meat. I like stuff that has lots of flavor and requires more than broiling :)

If you want Asian foods, Walter Rhee will be teaching at CCAE starting this week, I believe. He's fun to learn from when he's around. (I'll be at one of his classes this weekend.)

Helen's class is definitely less basic depending on the class. I took her pasta class and everything was yummy.

One of my colleagues has taken cooking classes at The Elephant Walk and he said it was fantastic.
