Cooking

cooking

It's an art, a skill; it's social and it's fun! At the Devonshire Cultural Center, kids and adults will learn the art of cooking –– from the basics like measuring, mixing and pouring, to culinary themes such as international food to holiday dishes and treats.

Over the past few years our culinary arts program has become super popular, so sign up now for a class!
