Williams-Sonoma Technique Classes begin today

Have you ever been to one of Williams-Sonoma’s free technique classes?  I have enjoyed each time I’ve taken one of their classes or seen one of their demonstrations.  Below is a list of some classes which will be coming up soon.  I encourage you to call your local store to make sure they are participating before heading over.  Below is information from an e-mail I received from them today. 

As the leading retail authority on kitchen products and
entertaining, Williams-Sonoma offers a variety of
in-store events:

Technique Classes
We’re pleased to offer hour-long technique classes at your
local Williams-Sonoma store. Presented free of charge, each
class is dedicated to a specific topic and led by one of our
culinary experts. Class size is limited, see below for class
descriptions and reservation information.

  1. My understanding is that all Williams Sonoma stores are asked to participate, but if the interest is low stores can opt out. I recommend calling a few days in advance to make sure that your local store is going to participate before attending. I've been to a few of these in the past at the store in Knoxville, and I've found them both helpful and enjoyable.
