experience.
Samplings courses are two-hour demonstration-based classes,
with interactive components that provide an entrée into learning cooking skills

April 30 and on May 21. Both
classes run from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. The pasta class covers how to make fresh
pastas in a variety of shapes, and with different fillings and sauces. Grilling
will cover the tips and tricks that professional chefs use to grill meats,
seafood, vegetables, and fruits.
“These classes are designed for someone who is looking to
learn more about a specific technique. The lecture and demonstration delve pretty
deeply into a single subject,” says April Goess,
director of education at the CIA San Antonio, who is teaching this spring’s
classes. “And don’t be surprised if I ask you to join me on stage to help
prepare some of the dishes.”
For $75 per person, participants get the lecture about a cooking
technique, demonstration of several preparations, a tasting of the foods being
made, and recipes of the day’s dishes.
