Cooking Classes
Due to Covid 19 we are unable to hold our classes this winter. See you next 2021-2022
At Willis Graves Bed & Breakfast, the love of fine food is unmistakable. To share that love, we offer cooking classes a few times a month for our guests and locals as well. Some classes are technique driven and some are theme or holiday-inspired, but all of them send you home equipped to put good food on your table.
Some of you know I am a chef and have been teaching cooking classes at Williams-Sonoma for many years. It only seems natural for me to start teaching here at Willis Graves Bed & Breakfast. Our classes are available to guests and locals. We hope you’ll join us!
Classes are done in demonstration style. If you feel like jumping in and helping, just let us know.
Come hungry! We will end the class in my private dining area and enjoy all of our labor of love. Dessert classes will start with a soup and salad to coat our tummies for sweet treats. Soft drinks are provided. Wine is available for purchase. Classes are fully transferable or refundable up to 7 days before the class. In the event that you can not join us and it is within 7 days of the class you may give or sell your spot in the event that you can not make it.
