Williams-Sonoma Offers Free Classes
Did you know that Williams-Sonoma at Parkway Place offers free classes on Saturdays and Sundays? Did you know that they even have a series for kids called Junior Chef?
Did I mention that it’s free? Williams-Sonoma classes take place right inside their store, are hands-on, and include tasting the goodies that are made or demonstrated.
Let’s face it, we all go in Williams-Sonoma and “sample” the samples from their counter.
By participating in one of their classes, you can improve your own kitchen techniques and maybe the kids will even make dinner!
Now you are, as they say, in the know.
