Hands-On Cooking Class for Couples at The Garden Kitchen

Hands-On Cooking Class for Couples at The Garden Kitchen

Jan 24, 20201 min read

Sure, it’s fun to share a meal on Valentine’s Day, but what if you got a little more hands-on (in the kitchen)?

The Garden Kitchen is hosting a hands-on cooking class for couples or singles from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Saturday, February 15.

This isn’t going to be your typical dining experience, ladies and gents.

Rather than waiting to be served, you’ll be serving yourself and learning new culinary techniques for that “special someone” in your life. It’s also a great way to surprise your partner with an unforgettable dinner — that is, if you don’t bring them along for the class.

It’s $55 to attend the class, and you’ll want to register soon before it fills up.

Hands-On Cooking Class Menu

    • Butternut Sage Risotto
    • Il Galletto al Mattone (Chicken Under a Brick)
    • Orange Fennel Salad

The Garden Kitchen is located at 2205 S. Fourth Ave. For more information and to register to class, visit thegardenkitchen.org.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.

IOU Sushi III has closed.
