Schedule for Fall 2008
 

TURN YOUR LOVE OF FOOD INTO A FUN DINNER OR PARTY THIS FALL!

There are lots of reasons to include a class at Company's Coming in your plans this fall. First, you will learn some easy to prepare and flavorful dishes. Second, you will learn some new food preparation and cooking skills. You'll hear the class discuss all kinds of restaurants, food and wine issues. And in addition to meeting new people, you'll have a great time! And there is no better time to try a class than before the holiday season.

This fall's roster of classes includes lots of new foods and experiences for your enjoyment. We will be weaving some favorite recipes into new classes and meals for you to try. Our very popular Saveur series will feature some beloved Spanish food traditions this fall. Pam Ginsberg will bring us a recipe for an awesome Turducken to use whenever you want something very special. Tony Quinn will bring some delicious Italian wines to taste along with a class of antipasti and dessert. A series of holiday classes will get you ready for a big crowd or a small dinner with your favorite folks.

Plan early if you want to have a Custom Class for a group of family, friends or business associates this fall or during the holiday season. There is always an occasion that deserves a special class. We have been doing a wide range of special classes this year for social occasions as well as some fun team building for professional groups. Each class was developed to suit the needs of the participants. We have extensive menu suggestions for you to draw upon. And remember, Company's Coming can come to you for a special class. Call or email Jinny to discuss.

Look forward to hearing from you!
