Cooking Classes on L.I.?

Anyone know of any in Nassau or not too far out in Suffolk? I am looking to give it as a gift to my sister for her help with my wedding. She LOVES to cook and I am TERRIBLE (I mean TERRIBLE - I smoked out the kitchen trying to make microwave popcorn last week) so I thought it would be something fun we could do together. Anyone ever done this before? If so, how was it and how do I sign up?

Thanks!

ditto.

I took a Thai cooking class at Viking and really enjoyed it. You cook in groups and then everyone sits down to eat together in the end. You can register for and/or view the class offerings through their web site. I don't know the site address off the top of my head, but you should be able to google it. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Re: Cooking Classes on L.I.?

Wow I just checked out both of these websites and they sound amazing. Exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much everyone.

Hey, do they serve wine at these things? If not, can I bring my own?... When I cook, it always seems to taste better when I am a little tipsy by the time I eat it... ; ).

A La Carte is the place in Lynbrook -- I took a class there and they served us wine. I think the classes run $70-$85 but they sometimes have discounts. It was a lot of fun!!

Great gift idea - my mom got my sister that for her birthday.

I only went to Viking because it is closer and I also wanted to take their Thai class. The schedule worked better there. I loved the class and will probably take another one with friends after the holidays are over.

I have only shopped there. I love the store.

When choosing a class for, just make sure it's a 'hands-on' one. (Most of them are.) Sometimes the classes are demonstrations.
