[Publib] Adult Cooking Classes

[Amanda Brewer]

Our library did our first cooking demo last fall and it was very successful. I hired a local caterer to demonstrate "Cooking with Herbs" and she prepared five dishes "live" and explained how to prepare each one. Then we tast tested! It was a blast.
 
If your library has a stove...GREAT! We don't so we had to think of dishes that could be made at the library without an oven. This fall we will be doing a "tea party" themed cooking session. 
 
In my personal opinion, cooking classes are fun to host and people are generally drawn to programs that offer food! I found it beneficial to have a sign up so I knew how many people to prepare for. (Plus, the caterer needed a headcount!)

Thank you for your feedback on book club discussions.  Here's another question: Does your library offer adult cooking classes?
 
Do you have patrons cook or does the instructor simply go through the steps?  Do you charge and if so, how much?
 
Any suggestions, advice, or warnings will be heeded.
