What should I wear to cooking classes?

• JULY 30, 2013

" You should dress casually and comfortable. For hands-on classes, comfortable clothing and kitchen-style shoes (closed toe shoes) are recommended.  We will provide you with an apron to wear during the class.  Dangling or excessive jewelry as well as loose hanging clothing is not recommended". ( Salt Lake Culinary Center)

SPaulette Licitra Releases Winter 2014 Italian Cooking Class Schedule

POSTED BY CHRIS CHAMBERLAIN ON TUE, DEC 17, 2013 AT 12:05 PM

On the heels of the University School Evening Classes roster of food and drink classes (many of which sold out in minutes, by the way), Paulette Licitra has released the schedule for her wInter 2014 series of Italian cooking classes. Licitra is a great teacher, and her classes are very entertaining. Plus you get a heckuva a meal at the end of class.

She charges $50 per class, and she also offers gift certificates that are good for a year in case you want to make a holiday present out of a session or two. Classes are limited to six students and take place in her home kitchen in Bellevue, so the atmosphere is very informal, like learning at your nonna's elbow. Email Paulette at emailpaulette5@gmail.com to hold a spot in a class
