The
Wooden Spoon opens cooking school, offers classes for all levels
of culinary connoisseurs
CHICAGO — Jan. 27, 2003 — The Wooden Spoon,
an Andersonville-based business offering
gourmet kitchenware and cooking
classes, announced today the opening of its cooking school.
The Wooden Spoon, opened on Dec. 7, 2002,
by co-owners Trina and Sean Sheridan, will offer a variety of
classes in its cooking school’s kitchen, which features Viking
appliances and a custom-designed viewing area.
Classes to be offered include:
-- Knife skills,
-- Tantalizing tapas,
-- Thai cooking basics,
-- Everything chocolate,
-- Taking stock: Learn to create a variety of stocks and soups,
-- Brunch for 20,
-- Stir-fry fundamentals,
-- Simply sushi, and
-- Perfect pies.
“Our location provided initial inspiration for the classes we
offer,” says Wooden Spoon President Trina Sheridan. “Andersonville
is such a vibrant and diverse backdrop, it lends itself to being
the perfect location for cooking classes on a variety of regional
cuisines and food preparation skills.”
Community collaboration
Community resources will be further incorporated into classes
where guest chefs from local restaurants and businesses will
present both hands-on and demonstration classes.
A Taste of Heaven
head chef and owner Dan McCauley will host the first of these
community-teaming classes when he presents and demonstrates bread,
scones and muffin recipes used daily at his bakery, in two classes
held on Feb. 1 and Feb. 8.
“Our cooking school’s classes and comfortable learning atmosphere
appeal to students at all skill levels,” says Sheridan. “Whether
you are a home cook or industry professional, there’s something
for everyone in each course.”
