Cooking Classes at Joseph Decuis

One of Indiana's best restaurants, Joseph Decuis, is offering a series of cooking classes based on James Beard Award-winning chefs and their cookbooks. The restaurant is located in Roanoke, near Fort Wayne, so it's a bit of a drive from Indy -- but I'm sure it will be worth it.

Classes are $65 per person and take place at 1 p.m. Saturdays (and I strongly suggest staying afterward for dinner). Here's the schedule for the rest of the year:

• May 15: The Sweet Spot by Pichet Ong
• June 12: Burger Bar by Hubert Keller
• July 10: Italian Grill by Mario Batali
• Aug. 21: American Cookery by James Beard
• Sept. 18: In the Greet Kitchen by Alice Waters
• Oct. 23: Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child
• Nov. 13: Bouchon by Thomas Keller
• Dec. 4: Cooking by James Peterson
