UPCOMING CLASSES
I’ll be continuing our Winter Daytime Classes, with different themes
this year. In January we’ll be offering Simply Soups and Simple Dinner
Salads. The Simply Soups classes will focus on creating “cream-less”
cream based soups as well as healthy stock based soups great for freezing
for quick winter warm ups.
Simple Dinner Salads will be about creating “whole meal” salads focusing on protein and vegetable combinations. In each class we’ll sample ingredients and discuss their uses to challenge your imagination and creativity!
Hope to see you at class!

Since 1985, we've been celebrating great food and friends at Kitchenique. In the early years, we huddled around a small counter as our local chefs cooked on portable burners. We added our full-sized teaching kitchen in 1999 and it's been a party ever since! This collection of recipes is a work in progress with recipes from my childhood in New Orleans and those I've written for my classes. We'll be adding our Guest Chef's Recipe Collections over time. Enjoy, share and celebrate!

Many of you have requested information on a local knife sharpening service and since we really don’t know of one to recommend . . we’ve decided to offer the service ourselves!
Starting in June you can give us a call with a number and blade length
of the knives you want sharpened. We’ll arrange a time for you to bring
them in and have them sharpened while you wait OR you can drop them off
and we’ll let you know when they’ll be ready for pick up. The charges
for sharpening are based on the blade size
(the length in inches from the tip of the blade back to the handle).
| Up to a 6" Blade | $3.00 |
| 7" to 9" Blade | $5.00 |
| 10" to 12" Blade | $6.00 |
