Cooking Class : "Cooking For Health is No Joke?"
Whoever said cooking for health has to be serious, was never in the kitchen with Dirk & Christina Pirello. Whether you're sick, healthy or something in between, this class is for you. You will not only benefit from their decades of experience in the kitchen, you will learn to laugh, guffaw & giggle while you puree, stir-fry, & steam..& also possibly discover that to have joy in cooking is to have joy in life. If you don't laugh .... it won't be because they didn't fry!
