Dear Friends Of The Cooking School
ternational im’s In Ma J e rk gl n et Ju Dear Friends of the Cooking School, Another savory summer has come to a delicious end. Food For Thought, the new blog generated by the Cooking School, debuted in May. With our focus on creating great food, we thought now was the time to team up with all the departments at Jungle Jim’s to provide a forum to showcase recipes, tips and products our customers might enjoy. Please give the blog a look and give us some feedback by commenting. Our early summer trip to the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy exceeded our expectations. Don Govoni was the perfect tour guide whose passion and knowledge for the cuisine of his ancestral home made each culinary experience exciting. Attending a local asparagus sagra (food festival) was special because we were the only Americans to have ever visited in the 43 years of operation and we were presented with a certificate of attendance! Our sumptuous seafood lunch in Rimini was a culinary highlight. It’s difficult to select a couple favorites because the entire trip was memorable. Our suitcases came back loaded with local specialties we can share with friends and family. Watch the blog for posts about our culinary excursion. Before we know it, fall will return and with it, our favorite classes for the holidays. You will find annual holiday “classics” along with some new additions that will add some excitement to your autumn table. When cool weather hits, get fired up and join me as I bravely demonstrate the how-tos for deep-frying a turkey in my tailgating class! Thank you for including us in your holiday plans. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you this fall. P.S. Thanks to City Beat for naming us 2013 Best of Cincinnati - Best Cooking Class Bon Appétit!

Elizabeth Romero and Kristy Crouse – New Chef! We are two friends who share a love of baking and eating all things sweet. The silly thought of a sweets truck came about in the fall of 2011, and after seeing that other cities actually have cupcake and sweet trucks ~ our silly idea didn’t seem so far-fetched after all. The SugarSnap! Truck is a unique mobile bakeshop serving the Greater Cincinnati Community. The truck will serve the business crowd downtown, drop by office parks for mid-afternoon-pick-me ups, and participate in festivals and private events. Our treats are made without artificial flavors and preservatives and are best eaten sooner rather than later. Our sweets are handmade in small batches, fresh on the day of purchase.

Answer: The majority of our classes are demonstration. The chef makes the meal and you sit back and enjoy the class.
