About This Class
It’s easy to get into a rut when cooking dinner during the week. Weeknight Dinners offers you a selection of dinnertime ideas using the best of what’s in season.
Keeping in mind we’re all short on time, we’ll teach you to make recipes that draw on a well-stocked pantry to avoid all those trips to the store, and we’ll focus on dishes with plenty make-ahead elements. Our goal is to help you get homemade meals on the table more often while keeping it simple and tasty at the same time. By learning these core recipes, you’ll see how a few simple ingredient changes can turn each one into many different variations, giving you base recipes from which to build more meals than you can imagine.

FAQ
The average duration of our current cooking classes is 2 hours, which is predominately hands-on work. You will be standing for the majority of class, cooking at your work station as your instructor demonstrates techniques and walks around providing individual feedback.
Due to COVID-19 regulations, we can not have students congregate in the building before class starts. Doors will open 5 minutes prior to class starting and we will begin promptly on time. Students will be asked to queue up outside the door of the school, safely distanced (sidewalks are clearly marked) and will be let in the school just before class begins.
Please arrive at the school with your own mask on. You will be given a new, disposable mask to wear in class to ensure what you have on hasn’t been contaminated prior to entering SFCS. We will have extras available should you need one while at school.
Wear comfortable clothes and close-toed shoes (remember, you’ll be on your feet cooking). The kitchens at SFCS are fully equipped with everything else you need, including clean aprons.
Due to COVID-19 regulations, we will not be serving food or drinks during class, We will, however, be sending you home with both ingredients and finished food items so you can enjoy them later, and practice as well.
Wear casual clothing you can easily move around in, and comfortable close-toed shoes. Long hair must be pulled back and masks, provided by SFCS, are required while in the building.
