More and more people are cooking at home to save money and cutting back on their restaurant experiences. Many of these people were raised in a family where home-cooked meals were a rarity and have no clue how to cook but must look at these tough economic times in a new way. In reality, man or woman should not live on $5 foot longs and double-whoppers.
In my never-ending goal for people to enjoy the true pleasures of family sharing at the table and the economic savings of cooking, I present to you a number of upcoming cooking classes in the Baltimore area. Hopefully more families will cook together and enjoy the bounty of their own kitchens. These are not all of the classes being offered but ones I have gotten notices on recently. Feel free to check out my list on cooking classes I posted back in the fall, 08 for other venues for classes - Click HERE.
Cooking Classes
Saturday, April 25th – Maja’s Viennese Kitchen Cooking Classes 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Maja’s Viennese Kitchen Cooking Classes offer an organized, but leisurely demonstration and some hands-on cooking class. On Saturday, April 25, at 9 AM you will be greeted in Maria’s home with coffee, tea and a Viennese pastry. The class will start shortly thereafter in her kitchen. A “quick” yeast bread will be started as soon as you come into the kitchen. Then you will be introduced to making chicken stock/broth from the bones of a roasted chicken, and while the stock pot is simmering the tomato soup will be prepared. The Viennese Vegetable Salad is an old fashioned salad that will be presented in a “buffet-style.” Finally the Pavlova, the piece “d' resistance,” will be assembled. It is a meringue cake that is filled with whipped cream, and fruit. The whipped cream can be substituted with Cool Whip.
Come and enjoy a happy time cooking in Maja’s Viennese Kitchen, leaving all worries of the day behind.

Sunday, May 3rd – Celebrity Cookbook Authors @ Sotto Sopra Restaurant 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Celebrity cookbook authors, Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, are making a trip to Sotto Sopra on Sunday, May 3rd. They will be doing a cooking demonstration class featuring recipes from their just released cookbook, Cooking Know-How ~Be a Better Cook with Hundreds of Easy Techniques, Step-by-Step Photos and Ideas for over 500 Great Meals.
Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, the creators of the bestselling Ultimate cookbook series, are known for their great recipes. But in their exciting new book, Weinstein and Scarbrough provide more than just recipes: they demonstrate the essential techniques people need to become more confident in the kitchen.
Welcome to a whole new kind of cookbook.
"Knowing how to cook has challenged lots of men. Women, too. What most people learn is a specific recipe: how to make this pasta sauce, or that loaf of bread. What about learning how to cook in general? And not just the 'how' but the 'how come?' That requires a technique book.
"What you'll find in this book is an alphabetical list of sixty-five recipe-driven, technique-centered explications that build out into hundreds of dishes."
Armed with the knowledge of the simple mechanics of a dish, the five or so steps it takes to make it, you can walk into the market, find what's fresh (or on special), bring it home, and have dinner on the table without any worries, any overly romantic pretensions, or any cookbooks piled on the floor: fresh every time--and your way, too."--from the Introduction"The recipes are structured without being fussy and the majority are relatively easy. This is a welcome rarity, imparting a useful, innovative framework as well as the confidence to depart from it'" .....Publishers Weekly
Enjoy the class, sample 4 recipes, have wine and go home with a 1st edition autographed copy of the book, tax and gratuity included for just $85 per person. Weinstein and Scarbrough are not only super food savvy they are extremely entertaining...this is a DON'T MISS class.
Learn more about Weinstein and Scarbrough, sample some of their recipes and smile, Real Food Has Curves. Check out there video HERE. Many of you will recognize them from their recurring segment on Dan Durian's radio program on WBAL Radio.
This class will be held at Sotto Sopra Restaurant, 405 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21201 – www.sottosopra.us ciao@sottosopra.us .
