newtothis - thanks - they lookk great and are reasonable. J&W wants $140 per 3 hour class - seems a little high to me. Will be trying the first one available after we relocate
They're both in retail locations that are a lot of fun for "foodies" to shop.
Reid's is demonstration/sampling and Cooking Uptown is "hands on"/sampling.
(I offered the main sites above. Both have links to their cooking lessons.)

I just received this email mesage from William-Sonoma about cooking demonstrations at their South Park and Birkdale locations. I'd call before I went there, however. You never know when there will be a cancellation. Never having attended a class, I can't vouch for their quality, but hope that with their resources they would be good.
