Let’s Cook! For TeensDo you love to cook? Thinking about a culinary arts career? This garden to table cooking class is a fun, hands-on class where you'll learn about cooking with seasonal, locally grown foods. We will explore foods from different cultures that we will create as a group. Learn new cooking techniques, knife skills and delicious recipes that you can use later at home, or see if cooking is a career goal for you. From the beginner to the more advanced, all are welcome.
Cindy Lepore Hart has over 25 years professional cooking experience. She recently was teaching high school Culinary Arts, is an organic gardener, nutritionist, former restaurant owner and author of two cookbooks as well as an online gardening and cooking blog - www.CindysGardenToTable.com
