Monday morning, the cooking school sessions begin with hands-on cooking classes in the kitchen at Crane Cottage and continue through Wednesday. Participants may expect to learn from professionals how to prepare delectable gourmet dishes, methods of efficiency in food preparation, professional standards of food safety, and creative presentation skills.
