Cafe Maxx Cooking Class Mediterranean Cuisine

Join Oliver and company for their newest season of cooking classes.  Chef Oliver’s innovative and inspirational style of cooking and teaching enables participants to leave with greatly enhanced cooking skills and a better understanding of modern culinary principles.  Plus, you’ll learn the "how to’s" of simplifying home entertaining.  For those who have not attended a class, we set the room for 5:00 PM every 2nd or 3rd Thursday of the month and hold an open forum culinary demonstration. Each class is then followed by a sit-down dinner and wine tasting, sampling the foods we’ve just prepared (it’s really more like "Eater-Tainment").  The cost for this dinner is $65 + tax + gratuity for reservations call 954-782-0606.
