I'm sure I know all of this agenda but it's the only way to get into more specific courses, everyone has to do Boot Camp - it's their way of making all subsequent participants start more equally!

Have a fabulous time. So jealous. Although it must be really hard leaving SK at this time of year. ;-)

With a current wind chill of -46C I could teach a course in blast freezing. Of course the week we are gone see the temps rising above freezing :roll: ;)

They don't allow recording devices but I'll try to keep a diary and ask to take a few snaps for Cookaholics. Can't hurt to ask ;)

Just an update –

We had a wonderful time, learned quite a bit, and decided that we will pursue further courses. The fotos indicate yours truly and my ‘sous’ before it all began, shopping in the wonderful ‘supply’ shop at the CIA in St. Helena where we get 10% off already reasonably priced stuff – books, ingredients, tools, etc. and us working like mad to produce our ‘meal’ at the end of each class – usually 8 PM.

The CIA, with 90,000 sq. ft. on 3 levels has approximately 300+ students at any one time - all at various points in the 2 year program. Simultaneously, are conferences, classes like ours, tours, etc. However, they have taken over Copia in Napa as a sister campus of 80,000 sq. ft. Situated on the banks of the Napa river, Copia has had its up & downs as a show case for food and wine (Google it) but is now under excellent stewardship to become an education center featuring classes from 1 hour to 5 days they are reaching out to the community strongly. The new teaching kitchen will be complete this summer and will be spectacular. It is where courses like what we took will be located. The kitchen featured in my photos is sponsored by Viking, but it will be torn out and rebuilt for full-time students. Copia features large areas for conferences, steeply sloped theaters for lectures and demonstrations, museums of archived tools, books, etc. and a helluva lot more

My previous post details the daily agenda. The two instructors are excellent and if we lived closer we would attend more of the offerings. As it is, they have campuses in San Antonio, TX and Hyde Park, NY so if you are interested it is worth it. We will probably only sign up for the 4 & 5 day classes as it is quite expensive when we factor in travel, hotels, meals, cars, flights and the lovely exchange on the dollar....

BTW, the photo of spices is because I thought is was VERY handy way to double organize spices; all spices are organized by alphabet and numbered as it is much easier to put something back by number when you are in a hurry :!: :o I love it :D
