Cooking Class Series -- Eat More Vegetables (And Other Real Food, Too) -- And Valentines Day Carryout

As a result of the success of the Forks Over Knives plant-based cooking classes (and by the way, I got to meet Rip Esselstyn, the author of The Engine 2 Diet), I have decided to launch into a Cooking and Wellness Series that will concentrate on Eating More Vegetables (in season and locally sourced), but also including other things -- Seafood in one class, Eggs and Dairy in Another, and Pasture Raised Poultry in a third.  So if you are a Flexitarian (a strict Vegetarian, or a Lacto-Ovotarian -- dairy and eggs too -- or a Pescatarian -- seafood too, or even a Pollotarian -- poultry too) there is a class for you. The mission of each class is to Eat More Vegetables for your health and pair it with meats, seafoods or poultry all from local, sustainable and humane sources.

The recipe menu for each class is listed on the Cooking Class page of this site (Although I will reserve the right to substitute something really fresh from one of the farms at the last minute if necessary!)

Classes can be taken individually or as a four week series for a 10% discount. Each class is $75, or $270 for the series.

Please call the Cafe @ 410.266.1511 to reserve your space for any class. There is no online registration for classes. Sorry, in this day of everything done online, we are still comparatively low tech, but I maintain that's not a bad thing. I tried going web-based ordering for awhile, and began losing touch with my customers and their needs -- all for the want of quicker communications. I tried. All classes begin at 6:30 PM and will last until around 9:00.

Also, I am not going to leave you lovers of meat out in the cold, however. Local Butcher Mike Smollon, owner of My Butcher and More, and I are planning on doing some meat cutting/cooking classes coming up in the near future -- So those of you following the Paleo Diet, stayed tuned, there will be classes for you too in the near future!

Valentine's Day Carryout Menu is listed on the Take Out Restaurant page of this site. What better way to enjoy Valentine's Day than with a dinner prepared by A Cook's Cafe for the two of you?  Quiet night, great food.  Fire in the fireplace. Just a little kitchen time.

As before, dinner this year is sourced from all sustainable farms and fisheries -- Pepper Encrusted Fillet Mignon, or Wild Coho Salmon with Potatoes Anna and a lot more. 

As always, dinners will be prepared with an eye to only light maintenance on your side, with full re-heating instructions for those things totally prepared.  This menu is designed for hours of grazing, or diving in with gusto.

Please take a moment to look over the menu. You have your choice of entree (each of you can have something different if you wish). To ensure peak freshness, some of the menu you will finish cooking at home -- not to worry, it will be painless and fun!)

Your dinners will be available for pick up on Tuesday, February 14 between 3 and 6 PM.  Deadline for ordering is Thursday, February 9.  There will be a limit on the dinners I can prepare, (20 or 10 couples) so please get your order in early.  All reservations must be prepaid.

As Always, Thank you for Your Support.
