Gift Idea – Cooking Classes in Bellingham

By Annette / December 15, 2017

Here’s a clever idea. Register yourself or someone on your gift list for a cooking class in the Bellingham region and plan a mini-getaway based on learning a new favorite dish from around the world, using local ingredients. Try Afgan Cuisine, African Cooking, Chinese New Year Dinner or Tour de France. Or settle in with new takes on comfort foods including Winter Soups for the Body and Soul, or Italian Soups. Or you can get really cheesy with Appel Farms, and learn about cheese and honey.
