Harmons Cooking Classes

Did you know that Harmons grocery store offers cooking classes?! I did not, and just discovered it today! Thanks to Channel 2 morning news for having the information on this morning!
Here is the information from the Harmons website:
Harmons Cooking School was established with the opening of Harmons Bangerter Crossing in April 2008. The school features top of the line cooking equipment and technology. Dedicated instructional chefs teach both hands on and demonstration classes to students of all ages. Classes range from basic cooking skills, seasonal and ethnic interests to wine and cheese tastings. Take advantage of multiparticipant discounts for select $49 classes. We also offer private classes and demonstrations for families, parties and businesses.

With the opening of Harmons Station Park there are now two Cooking School locations. When signing up for any of our classes, please note the class location when making your selection to ensure your location of choice.

According to The New York Times book review, The Widow Clicquot is as much about Champagne as it is about the woman who helped elevate it to celebrity status.

The book reveals that the wine’s history is as filled with faux folklore as a glass of Champagne is filled with tiny bubbles.
