Going solo in the kitchen doesn’t have to mean pre-packaged and frozen meals. Eating alone can be pleasurable, and cooking for yourself is a joy when you learn to cook what you really feel like eating. Learn how to tailor your favorite dishes and gain lots of luscious, new “cooking for one” recipes for interesting meals you can easily whip up on your own – without a refrigerator full of leftovers. Practice techniques hands-on with a like-minded group. All levels welcome.
