Valentine’s Day 2023
VALENTINE’S WEEKEND AT COOKOLOGY
Fun fact, we opened our doors on Feb. 14, 2009, so not only is this Valentine’s Day but it is also the day we celebrate our anniversary as a small, local, woman-owned and operated business.
Cookology’s Valentine’s Day classes are about more than just having dinner with your partner or friend, it’s about discovering something new about each other. A cooking class is a way to actively participate in something together. At best, most of us are no more than sofa partners on the daily but at Cookology you are bonding over making a dish together.
Your triumphant completion of a dish you’d never thought in a million years you’d make, is more than a combined effort, it’s a little victory. Whether first date or a lifetime together, cooking together is a memory you make as well, and hopefully never forget.
