Cooking 101 at Frasier's

Don't know the difference between comfit and mirepoix? Frasier's Gourmet Foods is offering its Cooking 101 class on three Saturdays in June. The instructor is Joseph Allford, formerly the pastry chef at Peterson's (yum) and now an instructor in the culinary program at the Art Institute of Indianapolis.

The class costs $325 and is held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on June 7, 14 and 21. The curriculum includes knife skills, soups and stocks, sauces and marinades, fish, meat, poultry, and basic baking skills.

My regular readers will remember how I feel about cooking classes at Frasier's, but I'm thinking this class may be organized differently to provide more hands-on experience. Let's hope so!
