and saving on their electricity bills. This
informative class will cover the basics of
grid-tied solar, help you assess whether your
home would be appropriate, and let you
know about ownership vs leasing options.
Interested participants can also learn

the industry. Not a homeowner? You can

networking partnership.

Be Your Own General
Contractor and Save
Thousands
Whether you’re building a house from
scratch, adding on, or remodeling, you
might want to consider overseeing your
own project. Most cities and counties allow
the owner of the property to serve as their
own general contractor. Learn when to go
for it yourself and when it’s best to hire a
general contractor. If you decide to oversee
your own project, learn how to organize your
project into a step-by-step process in order
to plan, bid, and build your dream. If you
decide to hire a general contractor, know
what to expect and how to check their work.

Homemade Street Tacos
Do you love taco truck-style tacos? Those
small soft tortillas cupping a delicious meat
filling are easy to make at home and much
healthier because you know exactly what
goes into them. Join a “foodie’s foodie” and
learn how to prepare a traditional Mexican
meat filling along with homemade tortillas,
several salsas, and perhaps even a surprise
dessert. Each class focuses on a different
meat: pollo asada (chicken), carnitas (pork),
cochinita pebil (Mexican style pit pork), or
carne asada (beef) and shows you how to
authentically prepare and season the meat.
Take all four versions of this class and you’ll
be ready for a taco party!

Culinary Arts School and has worked in

industry for years. He travels to Mexico
frequently and has honed his recipes after

Cookin’ Cajun
Get a little taste of the bayou this summer
(without mosquitos and humidity) in
this colorful Cajun cooking class. Two
sessions are scheduled; in one you’ll make
an authentic gumbo with red beans and
rice, and in the other a jambalaya full of
seafood, rice, and sausage. Learn classic
Cajun techniques like making a roux and
ingredients and seasonings like the “holy
trinity.” Both classes finish off with a classic
peach cobbler to die for. You can’t get more
Cajun than that! Leave with recipes and a
belly full.
Philip Feder
has a love of great
food and great cooking. He teaches the
popular street tacos class.

Knife Skills
Tips, Tricks, & Techniques Used by
Professional Chefs
Beginning and experienced home cooks
can save time in the kitchen, while working
safely with confidence. Start by learning
how to select the right knife for you and
the task. Move on to proper knife handling
techniques, safety tips, proper knife care,
sharpening, and storage. Students will learn
to slice, dice, fine dice/brunoise, chop,
mince, julienne, stick/batonette, and fine
shred/chiffonade, and make a recipe in
class that uses many of those techniques.
If you have a good chef knife bring it to
class, as each one is as individual as you
are, and bring a cutting board if you have
one.
