CELEBRATIONS
LEARNING KITCHEN:
DISHING UP LESSONS FOR COOKS OF ALL AGES

By Paula Magrini

Chefs Andrew Borgmeier and Glen Barroncini prepare culinary masterpieces for Celebrations Catering & Events. But when they’re not pleasing palates at the companies’ numerous wedding, reunion and corporate engagements, they take time to teach the trade they know and love at Celebrations’ Learning Kitchen on Capital Drive.

A new fully-equipped state of the art professional kitchen with adjacent meeting facilities, the Learning Kitchen allows cooking students to learn interactively — they can participate in the preparation of the featured dish while discussing technique with the chefs. Then they’re invited to remove their aprons and savor the meal they’ve created in the adjacent Gathering Room. Wine, beer and other beverages are complements of Celebrations.

“The Learning Kitchen offers hands-on instruction,” says Chef Andrew. “There’s no need to be shy about your skill level. Everyone can participate in the process in some capacity.” Borgmeier and Barroncini welcome as many as 20 students per class on Wednesday evenings. Each class has a theme of its own, such as soups and stocks, classic Italian cuisine or as featured in the photos, kids birthday fare!

Chef Glen recently engaged a group of ten 5 and 6 year olds in a new trend, a children’s class featuring instruction for building fruit kabobs and designing your own pizza. The ambitious young cooks even prepared their own ice cream in honor of the birthday girl! “There was so much for the girls to touch, roll, smell and sample,” Barroncini explains. “It made them realize that cooking really can be fun and exciting.”

For reservations at upcoming Learning Kitchen cooking classes, please call Celebrations Catering & Events at 843.689.7526. Hurry, the aprons are flying off the hooks!
