The Santa Ynez Valley Grange, in partnership with Apples to Zucchini Cooking School, will offer two series of cooking classes for families and adults/teens.

Family Cooking will be offered monthly, 5:30-7 p.m. on the second Mondays starting July 14. Batch Cooking for adults and teens will be offered monthly, 2-3 p.m. on second Sundays starting July 13.

Instructed by Chef Bethany Markee, classes meet at the Santa Ynez Valley Grange Hall kitchen, 2374 Alamo Pintado Ave., Los Olivos.

In Family Cooking, tailored for children and teens with a family adult, participants learn side-by-side how to prepare meals. The class will cook a meal and eat it together.

In Family Cooking class members can share favorite food memories and traditions; build healthy relationships with food and cooking; and let the kids show off their emerging kitchen skills.

Recipes to be covered include scratch-made pizza and seasonal garden salad; macaroni and cheese and roasted vegetables; chicken or vegetable soup and freshly baked bread; tomato bisque and toasted cheese sandwiches; and French crepes with a variety of “add-ins.”

Batch Cooking is a class for adults, and teens ages 14 or older. The group will work with seasonally available local produce, using simple and repeatable cooking techniques such as roasting, sautéing, pickling, making soups, salad dressings and sauces.

Students will get to take home all the food prepared in class.

Attendance is limited to 12 per class. Participants may register online at AtoZcookingschool.org.
