The cooking demos here ($100) culminate with a four-course, chef-made meal. 

2. Chef Pam’s Kitchen 

280 W. MAIN ST., WAUKESHA

Some geared to adults; others, to children. From $15 for Cookies with Santa for kids up to $149 for a couples class. 


If someone has inspired you through their service, leadership or dedication, the Unity Awards are your opportunity to recognize them!

 

3. Tabal Chocolate

The Tosa maker offers Bean to Bar classes at the 101 ($50) and 201 ($150) levels. The former encompasses lessons about origins and ingredients, and tasting. The latter digs deeper, with students actually making chocolate.

5. Braise 

1101 S. SECOND ST.

Besides a whole semester of cooking instruction ($1,650-$1,800), this Third Ward resto also hosts single, two-hour, themed classes that start with a bite and drink ($70) and feature a specific theme, such as gumbo. Keep checking the website for details on 2024 classes.
