Cooking School News
Who says kids should have all the fun this summer? Have yourself some fun and learn new skills by signing up for a cooking class or event! We adults may not be able to spend a month at sleep-away camp but we can escape our routines for a few hours.

Two things common on most kitchen counters and pantries across the globe include salt and pepper. These are old school, inexpensive, fat-free and calorie-free flavor enhancers that can magically add new dimensions to your food with a simple shake, grind or pinch. Join us for any class this summer and get your very own 10-ounce box of Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt to take home and enjoy. Setting this brand apart from the rest are its pure pyramid-shaped salt crystals that guarantee smooth blendability into your favorite vinaigrettes, cookie dough and sautees. And, of course, since it is summer, this fine salt will come in handy for the rims of those margarita glasses!
