Please Note:  With the Inauguration of the School as Scout/Explorer Post 27 (for the Exploration of Culinary Arts), and the new 98.9FM World Cuisine Class Competitions, the amount of regular open public classes has been decreased slightly.  We will however always maintain our commitment to bringing these three-hour fun classes to the public.  Thank you for your continued support.

 

Sept. 2nd:  Grillin’ and Chillin’!  A Labor Day weekend Tradition.  More fun than serious, we cook at Paragon out by the pool.  Subjects are grilling and frozen drinks.

 

Sept. 16th:  Master Chef Victor Matthews and his lovely bride Rhianna (Mrs. Matthews) will celebrate their Sept. 13th marriage at an open reception at Paragon from 4pm until late into the evening.  Anyone who knows the couple and would like to drop by and wish them well is welcome.  The bar will be open and students will be cooking hors d’ouevres all evening (free food, cash bar).  Everyone is invited to share in their joy!  Gift table arrangements and RSVPs are being made through the Groom’s Mother Darlene at 578-5743 and/or 661-5489.  We do know that the couple is saving for a house.  Any cards or mail should be sent to the school at 3125 Sinton Rd. Colorado Springs, CO 80907.

 

Sept. 23rd:  The first 98.9FM Class.  This one focuses on the Food and Wine of Northern Italy.  Slots will be awarded to listeners throughout the week of 9/17-9/21.  Ten additional students can get in for $98.90.  If you want this one you better reserve early.  NO discounts or coupons can apply.

 

Sept. 30th:  This entire Weekend please turn your attention to Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Our Pastry Instructor Heidi Cottrill will be in the National Wedding Cake Championship (as seen on the Food Network)!  We are very proud of Heidi and plan to be there cheering her on.

 

Oct. 7th:  Cooking 201.  A follow up to our most popular class.  Cooking 101 was 4 hours of all the basics but there was not enough time to practice knife skills or work on stocks and soups.  So, we are following it with this new class.  Picking up where the basics left off.

 

Oct. 14th:  Last Class before Fall Break.  Introduction to “the Masters Series”.  These Classes will focus on the works of several related Masters.  The First Class is in Honor of the Mentors of our Dean Victor Matthews.  “MASTERS OF BRITAIN”.  Anton Mosimann, Gordon Ramsey, and Kevin Graham will be covered.

 

Oct. 21st:  Wines of France with Sommelier Gabriel Roddy.  This legendary overview of France takes many hours but is a lot of fun.  It runs $99 and there are many wines to be tasted and regions explored.  $25 for full time students (due to per person wine expense).

 

Oct. 28th:  Wedding Cakes 101.  Basic Recipes, Design, and Decorating will be covered by National Wedding Cake Championship Contender Heidi Cottrill.
