Inflation may be stabilized, but prices are still much higher than I am comfortable with. So what is available for fun that does not break the bank? Williams Sonoma is a fancy kitchen store that I usually only go to if I have a gift certificate or need a once a year reward. But besides window shopping and salivating at their fancy baking mixes, fully automated espresso machines and high end pots & pans, there is another free offering that helps you have fun, is perfectly suitable for couples and may even help you utilize your fancy cooking equipment more efficiently. But best of all, you can improve your culinary siills in the process and maybe even get some ideas for tasty home-cooked meals.
Williams Sonoma has regular cooking technique classes that are offered on a weekly basis for most of the year. Covering a variety of topics, you learn something useful and also may get to sample some treats. Currently the February skills series is dedicated to KitchenAid mixers. Past classes have covered Vitamix, knife skills and recipes optimized by Smitten Kitchen, a selection of recipes that can be easily done in a compact kitchen.
