Jackalope Grill Cooking Classes: February = Great Grains, March = Soups, Stews, Braising
(Bend, OR) Join The Jackalope Grill’s Chef Timothy Garling for upcoming cooking classes, this Monday, February 2 and Monday, March 2. These evenings are filled with great food, wine and cooking tips and secrets. The February class covers “Great Grains,” including risotto, barley risotto, quinoa, farro and amaranth. In March, “Soups, Stews & Braising” is the topic. Cooking classes include wine and hors d’oeuvres, demonstration and hands-on preparation in the kitchen, handouts with recipes and techniques and sampling of menu dishes paired with wine and/or beer.
The Source Weekly writes: “Speaking of branching out, Chef Timothy Garling has been doing a bit of that lately with his popular cooking classes at Jackalope Grill. Because of the strong interest in the classes, which feature cooking tutorials capped off by wine and food, Garling has been adding additional slots.”
Class starts at 6:00 pm at The Jackalope Grill and space is limited (these classes sell out quickly). Cost is $50. For reservations, call The Jackalope Grill at 541-318-8435. For location and info, go to the Jackalope Grill website.

Every so often, someone will say the have a son, daughter, or acquaintance who is interested in a job in the culinary field. Often the advice I give is very simple. “Do they like long hours and hard work?” But recently I came a cross a good article in the New York Daily News. I particlarly liked Marcus Samuelsson’s comment: “In the beginning, it’s as simple as life skills: Showing up on time or early, making sure you dress properly, addressing people that you work for properly. You’re an assistant in that kitchen, so really what matters is for you to have a great attitude. Somebody’s going to take notice of that and give you a chance.” Read more here.
