For the Zoom-weary crowd, these classes are a great alternative to learning online. People are craving more in-person experiences and Cottage Cooking satisfies with everything from bread baking and sushi rolling to creme brulee burning and more. They provide a nice way for couples to re-connect, families to spend time together, friends to have a laugh or two, and kids to learn a new recipe or two.<\/p>\n
Prior to the pandemic, classes went up to six at the Cottage Cooking location and strangers would often break bread together. Now, classes are limited to\u00a0four who know each other. And, if there\u2019s a couple who wants to book a class, they\u2019ll get a private class for the regular price of $75 versus $90.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor now, we\u2019re not putting people together who don\u2019t know each other,\u201d Liisa Andreassen, co-owner, Cottage Cooking, says. \u201cWe want everyone to be safe and comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Recently, Cottage Cooking has had several requests from honeymooners, couples celebrating anniversaries and girls getting out of town for a weekend escape.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople want to do \u2018something,\u2019 but are still not ready to commit to eating out. Our classes fit the bill,\u201d Andreassen says.<\/p>\n
Cottage Cooking will also take the show on the road and go off-site for groups of six to 12. For all classes, everyone is required to wear a face mask and people will eat outside when weather permits.<\/p>\n
The Cottage Cooking property includes two lovely decks, a firepit area and vegetable gardens. There\u2019s even a wildlife dining area and \u2018museum\u2019 that\u2019s free for all to visit.<\/p>\n
