Welcome to Dorothy Lane Market's School of Cooking.

We offer classes Monday through Thursday, with occasional weekend classes. Week-night classes are from 6 to 9 p.m., and daytime classes are offered on the weekend.

Classes are taught mainly by demonstration, with opportunity for lots of interaction between the students and the instructor. Participation classes are noted as hands-on classes, and class size is limited. Generous samples and recipes are given in all classes. We suggest you eat a snack or a light meal before arriving for class.

We offer classes taught by a variety of local and guest instructors, ranging from topics as basic as knife skills and cooking with a wok, to appetizers, pastries, and pies; to classes featuring upscale menus for entertaining. Sign up for any of our ethnic classes, and discover a whole new cuisine that interests you. Our Back to Basics classes teach basic cooking skills and are designed for the novice; however many students sign up for these classes to refresh their cooking techniques.
