Free Thanksgiving Dessert Class

November 15, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner but not sure what to make for desserts this year?  Have no fear!  Williams Sonoma at the Cool Springs Galleria is offering a free Thanksgiving dessert class at noon on both Sunday November 15 and Monday November 16.

Williams Sonoma Vs. Viking Cooking School

Let’s put this into perspective.  The Viking Cooking School, located at the Factory in Franklin, offers a three hour class called the ”Holiday Sweets Workshop” for $89, $69 if you register early.  Maybe you learn a little more, but its a hike out the Factory in Franklin and I don’t see anything in the Viking’s Holiday Sweets Workshop that mentions pumpkin pie crust.  The keystone of every Thanksgiving.  It almost sacrilege they dont include it.    In all fairness, I think the Williams Sonoma class is also only one hour long, ok with us.

Not only are they having two classes but they’re easy to attend, at the Cool Springs Galleria in Franklin Tennessee. 

And they are FREE!

Thanksgiving dinner is never complete without an offering of holiday desserts and the Cool Springs Williams Sonoma helps make it easy for you.  Expect to learn about the traditional favorites such as pumpkin pie, as well as some other tasty recipes.  They will demonstrate how to create a flaky, tender crust, a modern spin on the pumpkin pie and more! 

 They guarantee your guests will be coming back for more.  We’ll see you there!

 

Williams Sonoma is located on the first floor of the Cool Springs Galleria, 1800 Galleria Blvd., Franklin TN 37067.  Contact the store at 615-771-0427.

The Viking Cooking School is offered through the Viking Store, located at the Factory in Franklin, 230 Franklin Rd. Building #13, Franklin TN 37064.  Contact the store at 615-599-9617.

Free Classes at Williams-Sonoma

July 30, 2009 By Leave a Comment

The Williams-Sonoma in the Cool Springs Galleria is offering FREE 1 hour technique classes on 3 upcoming Sundays.  A great chance to learn something interesting and meet some new people!  If you’re staying at one of the area Cool Springs Hotels, here is a fun, random activity to break the monotony of being away from home on a Sunday.

Williams-Sonoma is located on the bottom floor of the Cool Springs Galleria in Franklin TN.  I spoke with Laura and she said although class sizes are limited they generally do not turn people away.  Times I have been in the store during these events, there seem to be a handful of people who show up and attend the entire hour, while other shoppers stroll in and out.  It is not often instruction of this quality is offered at no charge.

Here are the upcoming Sunday classes as described by Williams-Sonoma:

Balsamic Vinegar & Beyond: Sunday, August 9

Explore the exciting world of vinegars and discover the secrets to using them as flavor enhancers for a host of foods.  You’ll learn when to use sweet or acidic vinegars, and find your own favorite varieties.

All About Olive Oil: Sunday, August 16

Join us as we learn all about “liquid gold”.  We’ll discuss why certain extra virgin olive oils are so special and how to use them for cooking, drizzling, finishing and flavoring foods.  We’ll share invaluable tips, including how the right choice of olive oil can transform homemade pesto into something exceptional.

Pizza & Panini: Sunday, August 23

Now that the kids are back in school, you’ll want to expand your repertoire of quick and satisfying meals.  Pizza and panini fit the bill perfectly.  We’ll share our favorite sweet and savory recipes, along with make ahead tips and easy ways to incorporate leftovers.  You’ll learn some great recipes for entertaining too.

I’ll try to attend some of these complimentary technique classes and share my experience with you.
