Too many cooks spoil the broth, but too few cooks can result in overcooked cereal and refried microwave dinners. Increase your culinary options with today's Groupon: for $12, you get a one-hour cooking class (a $25 value) at Kissane's Creations. Individual or group classes are offered in the chef's own kitchen, though groups of two or more can enjoy instruction at home if it's within a 15-mile radius of Kissane's Meadow Park Circle location. As an added bonus, you'll receive a gift certificate for half off one small or large take-home meal.
Kathy Kissane, owner and meal-maven of Kissane's Creations, has opened her heart and hearth to apprentice foodies hungering to master the culinary arts. Her hour-long cooking classes can be tailored to the taste buds of each visitor and cover such topics as appetizers, entrees, sides, crock-pot meals, desserts, and meal planning. Aspiring master chefs can call Kissane directly to schedule their foray into wild gastronomic frontiers fraught with treacherous garlic mines, dense gravy bogs, and haunted meatloaf forests. Become proficient in the chemistry of deliciousness by yourself, or buy two Groupons and bring a friend who may become more than a friend once the smell of rosemary scents the air and your hands casually brush while reaching for the paring knife.
As part of this deal, eager eaters receive a gift certificate for half off one large or small take-home entree from Kissane's eclectic menu of pastas, salads, and down-home Tex-Mex meals. Saddle up to the family feedbag with delectable edibles such as chipotle pork loin and chipotle coleslaw ($30 for small, $45 for large) or chicken enchiladas with white cream sauce ($25 for small, $35 for large). Small meals serve two to four, while large meals feed six to eight hungry sets of chompers. Select your meal when you schedule your class.
The gift certificate cannot be used toward take-home side dishes or desserts.
Groupon Says
Know Your Knives
When delving into the world of cooking, one important skill is choosing the right knife for the right task. Here’s a handy cheat sheet to get you started:
Cutting bread: bread knife
Cutting ice cream: ice-cream knife
Cutting the ribbon at new penguin habitats: novelty-sized safety sword
Sawing effortlessly through tomatoes, soup cans, tree stumps, and, why yes, even the double-barrel of this Remington 12-gauge shotgun!: The live studio audience simply refuses to believe that a single knife could do all this.
Cutting through restless hoards of samurai ghosts on your doorstep: They’re here to help.
