PLEASE NOTE OUR "WINE PAIRINGS" CLASSES ARE A BIT DIFFERENT FROM OUR DEMONSTRATION COOKING CLASSES IN THAT A LOT OF TIME IS SPENT ON THE WINES AND MOST OF THE DISHES ARE PREPARED THEREFORE THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ACTUAL COOKIING.

The Kitchenique Cooking School is the perfect place for your next birthday celebration!

We put "fun" back in the kitchen with our
private parties with menus individually tailored for your special
occasion. Please fill out an inquiry, call or come by the store.

We bring the heat from the kitchen to the internet. Check us out!

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).

PRIVATE CLASSES AVAILABLE

Looking for a fun, unique and memorable activity for your corporation or association? Celebrating a birthday, anniversary or other specail event? Schedule a private class designed just for your group at Vicki's Kitchenique!
