Welcome to the Cooking School at Jungle Jim’s International Market. Recreational cooks of every skill level will find our hands-on and demonstration classes to be fun, informative and delicious. If you are traveling in Ohio or live in the Cincinnati area, we invite you to register for a cooking class and improve your culinary skills. Cincinnati Magazine voted the Cooking School at Jungle Jim’s International Market as BEST COOKING SCHOOL in Cincinnati in 2010. We are committed to offering recreational cooks the best and most diverse class offerings:
Local, regional, national and international chefs make up our instructional team each session. In-house wine and beer experts along with distillery representatives provide current information that enhances the exciting menus and delectable recipes our chefs cook up for class. It has never been easier or more convenient to experience a culinary adventure right here in Cincinnati!
The Cooking School staff and I are eagerly anticipating this summer's classes. Our focus is to highlight seasonal ingredients and provide our students with opportunities to develop and expand their skills in the kitchen. With this goal in mind, we are offering a 2-day Boot Camp for beginning cooks. As I planned these classes, I tried to keep in mind the skills that newlyweds, college students and novice cooks would need to give them confidence in the kitchen. There's no substitute for hands-on experience!
We're pleased to offer classes that will appeal to the beginning and seasoned home chef's desire for specialized skills: sauce making, "torching", grilling and sushi making. After each class, we read through your comments on the evaluation sheets and take into consideration the topics and skills you would like to learn. Hopefully, you will find a summer class that features a topic you are curious to learn more about.
Summer is the traditional vacation season and many of you will take some needed time off. If you've been yearning to travel, but must stay local, join us for a "trip" to Thailand, Italy, France, Mexico, China or the Middle East. For two and a half hours, you can experience the culinary delights of exotic places. Don Govoni is back to share his passion for all things Italian. If you missed him last summer, you will want to sign up early; our staff and students thoroughly enjoyed his first class here at Jungle Jim's. Penny Behnes has returned from a culinary trip to Thailand and she will share her recipes and adventures with you. As always, Carol Tabone and Dave Schmerr team up to present the wine and food from favorite regions of the world. If you are interested in world cuisine, we have a class for you this summer!
Our new Cooking School website is up and running. The new website makes navigating our class offerings much easier. Also new, we have recently started online registration for classes. In order to comply with new credit card guidelines, all classes will be charged at the time of registration. We continue to engage with our Facebook fans and are pleased that more and more of you are following us. We will be offering 2 specially priced classes this summer for Facebook Friends, but you are all welcome to register.
We look forward to seeing you in class!
Bon Appétit,
Leigh Barnhart Ochs - Cooking School Director
