Vegetarian Cooking Classes in Manhattan

Over the weekend, I researched the net to find fun cooking classes that I could sign-up for with my friends. I was absolutely amazed by the number of different classes being offered. From private lessons in your own kitchen and culinary tours of ethnic neighbourhoods to wine tasting and corporate team building activities, Manhattan offers budding chefs a zillion ways to grow their appreciation for fine food and wine.

Here are some classes that I plan to check out - let me know if any of you are interested in taking a class with me! I'm told that some of these sell out pretty quickly so we should definitely book in adavance.

Hi Lulu,

I saw that you were talking about several cooking classes in Manhttan on your blog (which is really reat by the way!), and I was wondering if you would be up to add few words about my cooking classes too. I would obviously put a link to your blog on the www.thewisecook.com.

The Wise Cook, a cooking class company, created a couple of months ago, and located in Manhattan.
The Wise Cook specializes in teaching private cooking classes in our kitchens, with a particular focus on healthy cooking. We provide to our students a customized booklet including the description of each recipe, but also specific information about the dietary attributes and health benefits of all the ingredients used during the class. We also offer a wider range of services, including Kids/Parents cooking classes, cooking parties, or cook dating events.

We are the first to offer such an original concept with real healthy cooking classes related to adults, singles, parents and kids at the same time.


Thank you in advance, this would mean a lot to me!
Stella
