Apropos Culinary Arts Center helps students achieve culinary excellence via classes emphasizing uncomplicated preparation techniques using quality local ingredients. Couples can spark fireworks of flavor with a date-night cooking class, specializing in either pizza on December 2 or sushi on December 16. Sushi courses prep pairs to cook rice, wield sushi knives, wrap rolls and learn how to select choice ingredients. Couples leave with two big boxes of rolls and the knowledge of how to say “moist towelette” in Japanese. In the pizza course, date-night patrons toss dough and create savory pies such as prosciutto and artichoke, four-cheese white pizza, and a meat trio with beer-battered crust.

Individuals can also bone up on kitchen skills with one of six foundations classes, covering kitchen cornerstones such as sauces, cupcakes, and knife skills. Held throughout the fall, each three-hour class equips students to re-create dishes in their own kitchens, and encourages experimentation with recipes and flavors. Students can dive into an introductory chicken course or jump into a Meat 101 class to learn innovative methods for teaching long division to a prime rib.
