March Thursday Night Dinners & Specialty Classes
We hope you can make it to our home in Los Osos on any of the last three Thursdays of the month, to eat some healing food & learn lots of new information. Our CookWell specialty classes will include a discussion (bring notebook & pen if you’d like to take notes), a cooking demonstration, and then dinner around 7:15. Our goal is that you have a great time & that all of your questions around the slated topics are answered. We’re also hosting our foundational CookWell course (5 sessions total) the last Thursday of the month, starting March 31, for the next five months.
We look forward to getting to know you better, and you’re welcome to bring your own wine or beer to both classes and dinners. Please RSVP for directions: 528-8837 or courtney@cookwell.org
