Spring 2012

Silver Spatula Cooking Classes
Eating is one of the most fundamental of human pleasures, especially when shared with others. I have always felt a deep love of fine food, not necessarily the “hoity-toity” variety, but all kinds of healthy food, well prepared and attractively served. Especially food that boasts an international appeal. Why eat the same thing every night? Travel the world on your dinner plate! Also, real food is health promoting and allows the diner to feel good about the whole adventure. I hope you find this term’s course offerings appealing and look forward to having you in my class.

New Courses for Spring
I am really excited about my new courses this spring. I have returned to some of your favourites: Greek and Thai cuisines. The Authentic Greek Kitchen is back by popular demand. Futher, I am offering a Greek Easter course to inspire us with some new flavours for spring. Also new is Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican inspired party menu and Born to Grill which reflects me love affair with summer cooking. Lastly, An Evening of Thai is an amalgamation of several courses, a jam-packed evening of delicious Thai fare, sure to please.

Remember, it’s Dinner
Not only do you receive full-colour recipes and a visual demonstration of the dishes, you have the opportunity to taste serving sized portions of every dish to see if it meets your expectations. Beverages will be served at each class; these may be caffeine-free teas/coffees for evenings, so you can enjoy a good night’s sleep or another beverage appropriate to the menu.

My Favourite Gourmet Gadgets
At each of my classes I have for sale a selection of kitchen wares that I enjoy using. My prices always include applicable taxes and no shipping or handling. Cash, cheque, Mastercard or VISA accepted!

Location, Location, Location
All my courses will be offered at Hope Lutheran Church, 30 Shaftsbury Drive in Kitchener. Just take Ottawa Street North, cross River Road and make a right turn at the third street on the right which is Heritage Drive. This leads you directly into Hope’s parking lot.

Upcoming Classes
In the Fall look for Love those Legumes, delicious ways to incorporate these nutritional powerhouses.

New Horizons
I am looking at expanding my business in another direction within the working community: A mini-course featuring a particular cuisine or culinary technique as an employee incentive or to aid in team building. Full-colour recipes will be provided as well as culinary demonstration, followed by lots of tasting! Consider this a new and exciting way to reward good work and promote team spirit! If you or a manager from your company would be interested in discussing this, please contact me for more information at karen@silverspatula.ca
