Cooking classes are offered by Bill and Shanni Apodaca on Vinsetta Boulevard in Royal Oak. They have expanded their personal kitchen to accomodate the growing classes, and I believe they are looking for spaces even larger now. It doesn't hurt that Bill was once a sous chef for Takashi Yagihashi, and that his wife, Shanni, is a born natural. The business in aptly titled Simply Good. Beyond being fantastic people they teach high end food in a comfortable, non threatening, unpretentious manner.
