Chris Toy, author of six popular cookbooks and private chef, has taught Asian fusion cooking for many years.

Each meal will actively engage cooks with the tools, techniques, and stories behind the dishes being created.

Mary Laury, an accomplished watercolorist and highly esteemed teacher, encourages students to believe they can be successful. Painting is an exciting medium; it flows and moves and does beautiful things. If you have never painted in watercolors, we will start at the beginning.
