Cooking Classes
     Cooking classes, held on Monday mornings at 10:00AM in the fall and spring, feature the food and personalities of the area's most successful chefs. Students have the opportunity to sample some of their signature dishes while learning their techniques. Chefs from nearly all of New Canaan's restaurants have taught here as well as some from top restaurants in Westport, Norwalk, Greenwich and Wilton. These cooking classes generally fill very quickly.

Other cooking classes, like the Holistic Culinary series, are scheduled as available.
