Cooking Classes – Not a Lot of Thyme

Not a Lot of Thyme

Hello friend!  It has been a while since I reached out with a blog post.  This one will be fairly short and here’s why: Art of Cookery is busier than it has ever been since opening in 2009.  Cooking classes are occurring more often and are bigger than ever.  People are coming from further away than ever too.

WOW that is humbling

It is also winter, and I miss my fresh herb garden.  Thus, the title (Not a lot of thyme).  See what I did there?  🙂

Upcoming Classes

Many upcoming classes are booked out, but here are some with space still available:

We are shut down for our yearly re-set and R&R between mid-Feb through mid-March.

Retail Food Menu

We’ve been doing retail food orders for a bit over 1 year now.  Below is the menu for 1/16 – 1/31.  Feel free to order now for pick-up during that time frame.  Ordering early helps me schedule things.  As we start the new year, I’ve made a few diets conscious menu choices.  Keto seems to be the big thing.

Feel free to contact me privately and ask for a food/diet meal that is not on the menu, but know it isn’t likely to occur for pick-up the same day, but you never know.  I am some people’s apparent private chef who take advantage of this.

Did you Know?

  1. We take private cooking classes and they don’t need to be on my class listings.  For example, your group wants to learn about cooking with herbs; or, how to use a Tagine.
  2. We do Murder Mystery dinners, called Delicious Demise, by private request.  Minimum of 6 people.
  3. We do about 4-5 small catering events each year.  Inquire if you are curious about your event.
  4. You can order off our menu for a hot and ready to eat meal, we just need a heads-up.
  5. We do Bachelorette/Bridal Party events.

Class Suggestions?

We are always open to suggestions for class topics.  Just reach out via email at ICan@artcookery.com.

Winter Wanderland

I know I said this would be short.  Here’s the last item… Winter Wanderland 2023 is coming up.  John and I are founding members and very involved in this weekend event.  Click HERE for the events/times/locations occuring for the 2/3 through 2/5 weekend event.


Delicious Demise

Delicious Demise Events

From October through May, we offer a special Murder Mystery event.   Cocktail party buffet style, participants learn about cultural food differences and experience dishes that are authentic to the country or place the theme is based on.  For example, one that was held in “London” had participants discovering bangers and mash, scotch eggs, and bacon butties.  You get food discovery, eats, and a DEMISE!    You will be emailed more about the event prior to arrival, including your role assignment and costume suggestions.  The mystery activities last from 5 pm until around 8 pm on Saturday, with dinner served as a buffet, cocktail style.  All are different, keep coming back for the next one!  We need a minimum of 6 to make this fun.   Adult themed.  Not suitable for under 17 years of age.  Not fully suitable for special diets (some foods are naturally gluten free or vegetarian, and these are present but no separate dishes can be prepared.)  For details on a specific date’s theme, please call or email.  231-740-4065 or ICan@artcookery.com  Additionally, you can request a big or small role.  If the main (necessary roles) are filled, you can request no role, just come as an investigator to help solve the murder and enjoy eats.  We reserve the right to change themes to adjust for group size.  The murder mystery begins promptly at 5 pm and last until over, usually 7:30 or 8 pm.
