This class is not a demonstration - it is a hands-on cooking experience that lets you interact with the ingredients and do the prep work yourself.  You will learn the fundamentals of professional cooking and at the end of the class have a dinner for four to sit down to.  There is a fee to this event, with the Library funding a portion of it.  Below is the menu and your shopping list, so you can look first to decide if you want to sign up for the class or not.  

This is a virtual event.
