FCC & Me

First thing first, have you seen THIS:

For some reason, the lovely folks over at Frederick Community College (FCC) asked little 'ole me to be on the cover of the brand spanking new continuing education course catalog. Woo-double-hoo! Not only did the charming Amanda Glenn from FCC set up the entire thing and made it happen in a flash, but I also had the chance to work with one of my favorite photographers, Kurt Holter, again. And let me just say that if Kurt can make a silk purse out of this sow's ear, well, mad, mad skills I tell you, mad skills.

I'm actually a huge fan of FCC's continuing ed classes and have not only taught a few (on blogging no less), but I've taken several as well, on writing and photography. I love education, which is a good thing, since I do own a recreational cooking school.

And while I've got your attention, you can tell from my lack of posting that summer cooking camps are in full swing at The Kitchen Studio. We are busy every single day cooking with kids & teens, and in the evenings, we've been hosting not only slammin' classes like our Modern Greek cooking class (Greek yogurt panna cotta...yes please!), but corporate teambuilding sessions as well. The summer so far has been covered in awesome sauce with a side of boo-yah!

We're currently planning and plotting our fall cooking class schedule and plan to have it online by August 1. In the meantime, we still have some space in the following summer classes:

• Peach Pie Workshop on 7/21 - $60 (you make a pie in class AND take it home to bake & share)
• Farmer's Market Cooking on 8/5 & 8/6 - $85 (includes a field trip to the market too!)
• Tomatopalooza: Intro to Pressure Canning on 8/20 - $70 (featuring the fabulous Cathy Barrow of Mrs. Wheelbarrow & Charcutepalooza fame) You even get to take a few samples home!

If you have a class you'd like to see on the fall schedule, please let us know. We'd love to see you at TKS soon. :)
