Executive Chef Nancy Longo, Pierpoint Restaurant, has been offering cooking classes longer than anyone else in Baltimore. What is special about her classes is that they are hands-on where everyone participates in the preparation of the dishes. Everyone gets involved, down and dirty creating the recipes.
Personally, I love a hands-on class; that is where I learned what fresh made pasta should feel like when properly kneaded or whether meat is rare, medium or well-done just by touch.
Pierpoint Fall Children’s cooking classes:
The children’s hands-on classes are mostly on Sunday and here is the link to her new Fall Schedule: http://www.pierpointrestaurant.com/childrenscookingclasses.html
