Back to Basics
We are so excited to share our Back to Basics cooking class with you! We wouldn't call this a "traditional" cooking class - it's a lot like sitting in the kitchen at our house. We aren't polished, we aren't perfect, but I promise we're real. We're busy and tired at the end of the day and all we want to do is find a quick meal the family will eat. These basics are a great way to impress without the stress.
