Cooking classes in Atlanta

[Doodad]

I was wondering if any of my fellow ATL gulleteers could recommend classes in the area. I am a home cook with some experience; call me a sophomore if it was college. But, I really need some technique help in classic basics. Knife skills esp in butchery, sauce skill in classic sauces and dishes that are standards would be of interest to me. I live on the Northside, and while distance is not TOO much a factor, Jonesboro would probably make me go hmmmm.

Thanks in advance.

When you say Northside, I assume you are ITP. My only experience has been with the Kroger Cooking School in Crabapple. I took several classes there when they first opened. At that time, they brought in numerous chefs from successful restaurants in the metro area. Kroger now has competition from Viking, Cook's Warehouse, and others and Kroger seems to be using more in-house staff and less outside chefs. Just the same, cookbook author Debbie Moose (who Gifted Gourmet and I met at an eGullet cookout in Raleigh a couple of years ago) will be at the Kroger School in October. It appears to be a book signing only - with no instruction or demonstration.

No I am OTP and very near the Crabapple Kroger. Funny you mentioned that school as the catalog came yesterday for Publix's version. Ming Tsai and Rocco are coming there soon and they just happen to have a knife skills class as well.
