Learn to Cook Like Local Chefs at Wayne Art Center

The Wayne Art Center is working with several local restaurants this winter.

On January 25, Maryam Vafa of Elegance Café will join us for her annual family cupcake workshop. Maryam will have everything needed for tasty fun: freshly baked cupcakes, frosting, sprinkles, & candies. This workshop, from 1:00-3:00 pm, is a family activity for a cold January afternoon. Elegance Café, located in Wayne, is well known for its delicious pastries, quiches, wraps and other specialty menu items.

Paola Coppola, of Paola’s Cucina (formerly Bravo Pizza), will be in THE KITCHEN for the first time on January 27 to prepare her homemade pasta sauce, a local favorite. Bring your appetite because you’ll enjoy a bowlful of pasta and sauce when she finishes her demonstration. The fun begins at 6:30 pm.

“Tastes of the Town,” our popular series with local restaurants, continues this winter. Sit back while each chef demonstrates how to prepare several recipes, gives “insider” cooking tips and then shares the delicious results with the guests.  

Andy Dickerson of Teresa’s and Matt Guyer of The Beer Yard will be with us on January 21 to discuss/pair cheese and beer.  

Executive chef Drew Stark of Paramour in the Wayne Hotel will be cooking on February 20.  

Executive chef David Murray of Peppercorn will be in THE KITCHEN on March 11.   

Executive chef Scott Clark of Blue Monkey Catering will serve up a Chinese menu on April 1, followed by executive chef Chad Jajczyk of Ella’s on April 30.  

All classes take place in The Kitchen, begin at 6:30 pm and cost $25.  BYOB.
