Does your idea of cooking involve a can opener, a microwave, and takeout menus?

Ever wonder who would possibly be patient enough to teach you the basics to get you on your way? Well, this is the class for you! Chef Allison with the Wild Thyme Cooking School has designed this class around learning the absolute basics, with plenty of time for questions and teaching basic skills.
