Simply Delicious
Simply Delicious open house is August 20 from 7p-9p in the Decatur Recreation Center kitchen. Come and meet the chefs who will be teaching a hands on cooking class on 1st and 3rd Tuesdays all Fall/Winter. Jerilynn, Charli, and Jennifer will be on site preparing a few fresh dishes to highlight the future classes. Come enjoy a free sample of the simple, delicious, healthy, nutritious and locally sourced foods. These veteran chefs collaborate with the Wylde Center and you may have even met them in the Oakhurst Garden.
Join the Wylde Center’s chefs in our new kitchen! The Wylde Center is offering hands-on cooking classes featuring seasonal produce in tasty and healthy dishes. These classes will also revisit classic kitchen techniques like fermenting, canning, and freezing. Classes are a collaborative effort of the Wylde Center and the Decatur Active Living team. All classes will be taught at the Decatur Recreation Center’s new teaching kitchen. Advance registration with the Wylde Center is required. Classes are $30-40, register at www.wyldecenter.org
