Become a member of the brunch bunch! Eggs, pancakes, waffles, and French toast are all good for brunch – but how about quiche or chicken crepes or even a Monte Cristo? And of course it wouldn’t be brunch without great baked goods – bagels and muffins and scones, oh my! On the menu:
Easy Crustless Quiche
Creamed Chicken Crepes
Mini Monte Cristos
Mystery Fruit Delight

Teens Cook: Dim SumWednesday, February 23rd,9:30PM to 12:30PM. Ages 12+. Cost: $55.
This Cantonese tradition is perfect for culinary-minded teens. It offers a variety of tastes and cooking techniques, and is the kind of small-plate nosh that appeals to the young. After all, why have a stuffy, three-course meal when you can graze among the bamboo steamers with friends? (If you need a translation, come and find out!)

About Culinary Underground School for Home Cooks (CU)
Culinary Underground School for Home Cooks is committed to furthering the art and craft of home cooking through engaging and educational hands-on and demonstrations classes. Using the best seasonal ingredients, mastering techniques, minimizing prep, and maximizing flavor are the focus of our classes. We believe that good eating and breaking bread with others are two of life’s greatest pleasures, and are at the heart of everyday cooking for family and friends. We share with our students a growing concern of what is in our food and where it comes from. To that end, we support small, local, organic farms and dairies, seek out area restaurants whose chefs cook locally, and invite those chefs, farmers, and purveyors into the classroom to share their knowledge and ideas with our students. Located at 21 Turnpike Road/Route 9, Suite E, Southborough MA 01772, the school was founded in 2004 by Chef/Director Lori Leinbach, an experienced educator and personal chef. The staff of four culinary experts teaches children and adults in small classes of 8-12 persons, Monday through Friday, daytime and evenings; special classes and events are also held on weekends. CU students of all levels and interests come from as far as CT, NH, and RI, as well as from Central and MetroWest Massachusetts. Additionally, great tools students use in class can be purchased at the new, on-site Kitchen Corner store.
