Cooking Classes-East

There are many good choices for teaching kitchens as you head east. Among there are The Fig Cooking School in Hamden, where past students “have ranged from former restaurant owners to people who could barely boil water”; Sur La Table in Canton, whose excellent classes plug into a national network of experts and ideas; The Fieldhouse Farm in Madison, where cooking classes for adults and children are offered.
