1 2018 SUMMER Cooking Class Schedule ABOUT OUR COOKING CLASSES - Cooking at the Cottage is Louisville s premier cooking class destination. Winner of the Best of Louisville s 2011 Critic s Choice Award for our classes, we strive to make our classes a means of discovering the pleasures of the kitchen. Our instructors will share their knowledge, techniques and tips with you, giving you the confidence needed to make cooking a simple, fun and creative experience! Whether you choose a demonstration or hands on class, bring your appetite, as you will have the opportunity to sample each dish that has been prepared. Whether you are a gourmet chef, seasoned home cook or don't know the difference between a stockpot and a sauté pan, you'll find classes that give you the confidence and skills to cook great food. We offer a number of different styles of classes: DATE NIGHT is a HANDS ON class, designed as a way for two individuals (a couple, two friends, girls night out, family members, etc.) to enjoy an evening together, creating their own meal, socializing with others, and in the process, learning a thing or two! These classes are extremely popular, so sign up early to ensure your spot! Remember when registering ~ 1 table = 2 individuals so please use the number(s) of tables you desire when making your reservation. DEMONSTRATION is a class where the chef prepares each dish, step by step, as the students follow with a recipe packet and are encouraged to ask questions of the chef. You are served a large appetizer portion of each dish. HANDS ON is a class where students work at tables, raised to counter height, use the gas cooktop, knives, cookware, etc. to prepare each recipe under the direction of the chef instructor. You will be served a large appetizer portion of what is prepared. PARTIAL HANDS ON is a class that combines demonstration, lecture and taking a turn at making the subject food yourself under the direction of the chef instructor. You will be served a large appetizer portion of each dish. BASIC TRAINING & INTERMEDIATE TRAINING are 6 week, hands on series, where students meet once a week to thoroughly explore various topics & techniques including basic knife skills, stock & sauce making, working with various proteins beef, chicken, fish & seafood pasta from scratch, to name a few.

2 Dear Foodies ~ First of all, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the expressions of love and support you gave me and my family during Mark s illness and his passing. You will never know how much each and every word meant to us and helped us realize that we are one big family here at the Cottage. Warm, sunny days are just what the doctor ordered, so take a moment and check out our Summer offerings for both adults and kids. Be sure to register early to save your seat! Along with the amazing instructors you have grown to love we have added or will be adding added some new instructors, new subjects and new cuisines this season. Please remember to sign up early we have a seven-day* cancellation policy for those unexpected things that come up. While we try our best to accommodate last minute signups, it s not always possible. We wait as long as possible to determine if a class is a go but our chefs need enough time to shop and prepare for class sometimes resulting in a class being cancelled when it could have been a go.

This small region of Italy is made up of a very proud people which will use only what is available to them from their own little region. Since the region cannot grow rice, they ignore it in their cuisine. Since they do not have milk cows, they refrain from using butters and milks in their dishes - using olive oil in their desserts. Located on the sea, they do have a varied diet of fish. Soups with various vegetables and greens are also very common in this region. They will eat rabbit in their diets and they also have lamb, veal and tripe available to them. The most recognizable city in this region would be the port city of Genova. This is also the home of the beautiful coastal area known as The Italian Riviera.
