ASHEVILLE, N.C., Dec. 5, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) \u2013- Cottage Cooking, a cooking class business in Asheville, North Carolina, where their motto is, \u201cEnter as strangers, but leave as friends,\u201d is excited to report that its guests will now be entering into a new kitchen. John Godts and Liisa Andreassen, owners of Cottage Cooking, had no idea that when they started their cooking class business less than two years ago that there would be such a demand for their services.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe started it on a whim, and it\u2019s turned into a very viable second business for both us,\u201d Andreassen says. \u201cWhen we first launched, we thought we\u2019d do two to three classes a month. Now, we have some months where we\u2019re doing as many as eight or nine.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the business has grown, the couple decided that the kitchen needed to also. So, Godts, the owner of the cottage decided to add an addition that is separate from, but adjacent to the original home. While the old kitchen could accommodate up to four, it was tight. The new kitchen is still limited to groups of up to four, but there is much more room to spread out and cook now.<\/p>\n
And, the new kitchen still maintains the charm that was associated with the old one. While the old kitchen had a wood burning stove and original hardwood floors dating back to the turn of the century, the new place boasts a barn door, crafted by Godts, a trap door that goes to the garage, a cozy gas stove and interesting artifacts and photos from the couple\u2019s many travels.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also a new deck that was added on and the couple hope to give grilling lessons this spring and summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis new space has opened up even more opportunity than before,\u201d Godts says. \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to what the future brings.\u201d<\/p>\n
Founded in March 2015, Cottage Cooking was started to fund the couple\u2019s passion for travel. Cooking classes are designed for the home cook and a typical class is designed like a dinner party where guests prepare and eat an appetizer, main course and dessert.<\/p>\n
