Schedule for Winter 2012
 

MAKE A RESOLUTION TO LEARN TO MAKE AND ENJOY SOME NEW FOODS THIS WINTER!

Come join the fun at Company's Coming while you learn to cook - and enjoy some delicious new flavors! At Company's Coming you can join other food lovers as the group explores the foods and wines of the world. Our classes this season will travel the globe from Morocco and the United States to China and France and then on to Viet Nam, Spain and Italy. Company's Coming will continue its series of Saveur magazine special classes. This season Company's Coming offers Saveur's French Country Classics.

We are continuing our "First Friday" classes this winter. These classes, held the first Friday (or in one case the second Friday) of each month will focus on preparing three plates from one area of the world at each session. A wine or aperitif will be selected to complement the food. Running from just 7 to 8:30, the First Friday classes cost $45 a person and are a perfect way to end the workweek - and begin the weekend.

Weekday and Saturday classes prepare - and enjoy a full meal with paired wines. The group will prepare its meal and then sit down to enjoy it together. Dinner discussions can be lively. Each meal is built to include a range of flavors and cooking techniques. The classes all begin at 7 and run to about 9:30 or so. Weekday classes are $70 a person while Saturday classes are $75.

Plan early if you want to have a Custom Class for a group of family, friends or business associates this winter. There is always an occasion that deserves a special class. We have been doing a wide range of custom classes 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.

Whichever class or classes you select, all are designed to teach you more than just cooking. At Company's Coming you'll learn some cooking short cuts and suggestions for wine pairings with each meal. The hands on participation style used in each class will teach you an "entertaining" menu easily replicated in your own home.

Keep that resolution to come to a fun cooking class this winter!

HERE'S WHAT YOU GET:
Complete menu with recipes that highlight "cook ahead" possibilities. Recipes include a discussion of any special equipment and the ingredients you'll need to prepare the meal at home. Suggestions of food alternatives to use in cases of dietary restrictions. Each class combines participation and demonstration. Class size is limited. Each session ends with the class enjoying the food and wine of the evening.

LOCATION:
Classes are held in the Fleischman's spacious, fully equipped kitchen. Dinner is eaten at the large table in the adjoining dining room. Their house is located off Connecticut Avenue within walking distance of the Cleveland Park Metro stop.

PAYMENT:
All weekday and Saturday classes meet from 7pm until 9:30pm. Classes during the week cost $70 per each session or three sessions for $195. Saturday classes are $75 each or three for $210. The Saveur class is $85. First Friday classes run from 7 until 8:30 and are $45 a person. Reserve your space today! Make check payable to "Company's Coming" or use the credit card option under Registration on our website. No refunds but you can send a friend in your place. A confirmation and directions will be sent upon receipt of your check.

HAVE YOUR OWN GROUP?
Company's Coming can plan a custom class with you to match your specific needs. The class makes a perfect team building experience for business associates. Friends enjoy making a cooking class part of a birthday, anniversary, shower or other celebration. Meals can be planned around vegetarian, gluten free and other restricted diets. Company's Coming has an extensive list of menu items to use in planning the perfect meal for your group. Please call us to discuss and arrange your own class.
