Culinary Classes in Chicago

The Chicago Tribune has a great article up in their food section right now on cooking classes in the greater Chicago area. They list classes for a wide range of budgets and locations (including the suburbs). There are week long professional courses available as well as one-time engagements in your home. If you know a cook who is interested in learning something new or brushing up on seasoned skills, this resource offers some fabulous gift ideas.

I have been meaning to take the reasonably priced ($40) knife skills class at the Chopping Block for some time now. The pricier, multi-class Vegetarian Indian Cooking with Ranjana sounds quite tempting as well.
