All of my January + February classes!
and a big thank you from me to you
Hey all,
I know lots of you may have given or were gifted my cooking classes for the holidays. First, THANK YOU! Second, I just finished posting my entire January + February class lineup so I wanted to share it with you here. There’s something for everyone!! As always, if you want to join any class and money is a barrier, just let me know and we’ll figure something out. Also remember that if you want to attend a class but the date/time doesn’t work for you, you can still sign up and you’ll get the recording of class!
My gift to thank all of you paid subscribers this year is a big donation to World Central Kitchen who works around the world feeding people wherever they need help, including in their field kitchen they recently opened in Gaza, and to God’s Love We Deliver who cooks + delivers food to people in the NYC area who are too sick to shop or cook for themselves. Thank you for supporting my work so that I am able to support their important work.
I will be away next week but will be back here the week after. I hope everyone has a happy + safe new year.
