St. John Catering

Want to get your cooking skills up to snuff?  We can help.  We just finished our first set of cooking classes and are planning more rounds.  So get your apron on...you're gonna need it!

This summer, we launched our first cooking class series at the Inn at Tamarind Court- tons of fun!  We wanted to focus on approachable techniques and recipes designed to help even the freshest beginners get started on some sweet cuisine.  The classes began with nibbles at the bar and included a lecture and demonstration followed by dinner.  Lots of familiar faces and a bunch of new friends turned out to learn a thing or two and, thanks to their enthusiasm, we're looking into continuing the series!  Thanks to everyone who came out to learn and to those who helped with the process!  Much appreciated!

Keep an eye out for the next session- coming soon, and look for upcoming blogs featuring some highlights from the series.  We'd love to see you and all your friends there.  Classes include lecture, demo and dinner.  The classes make great gifts and we gladly offer gift certificates (read:  "Happy Birthday / Anniversary / Holiday / Anyday Sweetie- learn to cook me something good").  We hope to see you there!
