Cooking can feel a drudgery and daily shopping impossible, but don't throw in the dish towel yet! In this popular course, we'll hone meal preparation skills, create fifteen- to sixty-minute menus for delicious repasts, and learn to execute them beautifully.

Guiding us—beginner and experienced chefs alike—will be Dave D'Aprix, Culinary Institute of America graduate, local caterer, and former Cornell Hotel School instructor. Rather than relying exclusively on recipes, David will emphasize cooking techniques and the value of a well-stocked larder for making gourmet dishes with little advanced planning. We'll also visit the Ithaca Farmers Market, where the local and seasonal produce will inspire us on to the next meal.

This program is part of Cornell’s Adult University (CAU), which offers education vacations designed and led by Cornell faculty. Programs include off-campus travel adventures and weeklong on-campus summer courses open to all, including Cornell alumni, families, and friends.
