You will find they do lots of very interesting evenings, including cooking classes.  Couldn’t we all use some lessons. The Mrs was a professional chef and I’ve learned some very basic, but important things. You are more likely to cut yourself with a dull knife, so sharpen your knives and then be careful. Cut your vegetables evenly. If you take the time to cut them more evenly, they’ll cook more evenly. Taste everything as you go along, and that way you can adjust it if something doesn’t taste right.  My biggest lesson learned is Stay out of the Kitchen.

Thanks to Chefs of Maine in advance, and to all get out and enjoy, learn new things, savor those English Muffin Pizzas and feel good for helping out Loaves and Fishes food pantry.
