Cooking Series Feedback...

"If you have ever thought about expanding your horizons in the kitchen I enthusiastically recommend the Chefs' Secrets Cooking Series at Rensselaerville Institute.

The delightful country setting is unique for a " hands on" culinary experience in a small, chef led group of like minded foodies.

By the end of the day our little band of eager students were empowered and appreciated by our family and friends who joined us for the lavish and delicious buffet we worked so hard to prepare. Don't miss this opportunity to be your own Top Chef!"
