Let’s Get Cooking!
2022 Class Schedule
Here we go again—another season (our 17th hard to believe!) of the Blue Apron Cooking School fun, friendly, and informative classes with something for everyone! Each season brings classes that not only teach cooking techniques and skills, but also introduce new foods and/or ways to prepare old favorites. As always, I’m excited to share them with you.
As many of you know I’m working on my cookbook, and although I’m finding what a monumental task it is, and it is surely slow going, I am making significant progress. To keep the momentum going I will need to continue working on it while also conducting the classes. This will require a few modifications to this class schedule. In order to free up time for recipe testing and photography, all classes will be scheduled on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your support and patience.
Here is the first set of upcoming classes. I hope you find a class or two of interest. I can’t wait to share them with you! Also below is a quick look at additional ones planned for a bit later in the season. Let me know what you think.
Please reserve your space as soon as possible. Class size is limited, and classes can fill quickly!
If you are paying through Paypal and wish to register more than 2 people for a class, please contact me to find out if there are sufficient vacancies. Class dates in Red are Sold Out. See Wait List for Sold Out Classes below.
Thanks, Liz

Rhubarb—Every Which Way
Years ago I offered the class—Rhubarb, So Much More Than Pie! and folks have been requesting a repeat ever since. So here it is, with new and updated recipes. We’ll make and enjoy a full menu with each and every recipe showcasing this most amazing vegetable (yes, rhubarb is a vegetable).

Dinner, Making it Easy!
Coming up with dinner ideas every evening is hard. We want something tasty, quick to prepare, using ingredients we have on hand and hopefully healthy and satisfying. I’ve got you covered. I’ll demonstrate two different dishes using almost the exact same ingredients, how to take a prepared packaged item and turn it quickly into something fancy enough to impress company, and we’ll conclude with a simple but to-die-for dessert and cocktail.

Gluten Free Baking—at High Altitude

Easy Summer Entertaining
In this class you will receive ideas and learn how to successfully plan and pull off fun, easy celebrations—with style! We’ll cover the basics, such as—who, what, when, where, and why.

Fabulous Glorious Vegetables
It’s so easy to get stuck in a vegetable rut but no need to with the wide variety of fresh vegetables that are easily available, even in our small grocery stores. We just need some inspiration! In this class we will not only review and practice vegetable chopping and preparation skills but will employ a wide variety of cooking methods.

Little Fried Fritter
Whatever you call them—fritters, cakes, latkes, pakora, beignets or patties, these little tantalizing bites are always crowd pleasers. We will make a wide variety of them while concentrating on the cooking skill—mise en place (everything in its place)—an organizational skill crucial when preparing these dishes. And because each of these tasty morsels requires frying, we will conquer that fear as well!

New Mexico—A Flavor All Its Own
My husband is a New Mexico boy, and although he hasn’t lived there for many years, he still craves the unique taste of its Mexican food. It didn’t take me many visits and meals to agree with him—I love it too! Lucky for us a very dear friend and exceptionally good cook, Harriet Morgan, has agreed to come from Albuquerque to assist in this class! She will explain a bit about that key ingredient found in most all NM dishes—chile!

Wait List for Sold Out Classes
If a class you are interested in is sold out, don’t be discouraged! A wait list is kept for all classes. Often space opens up, sometimes in advance and sometimes at the last minute. If this is an option for you, please get on the wait list for any class you would like to attend. There is no obligation or payment required until your spot is secured. And I’ve been known to add an extra class day, when possible, for an extra popular class. Those on the wait list get first chance!
