The Red Maple Inn Cooking School is one of Shari's great passions. "It is such a fun way to learn about international cuisines, food techniques and history, plus spend an evening eating great food with new Foodie friends!" she says. Each class includes demonstrations of various International cuisines and local seasonal dishes, a whole evening of learning the secrets of professional chefs. Shari teaches most classes, but occasionally a guest chef shows up, including “Iron Chef” Tom Schaudel and Bravo TVs “Top Chef” star, Miguel Morales. Like Shari, her chef-friends love sharing their talent, signature dishes and passion for cooking!

Classes start at 6:30 PM with a lively and fun-filled kitchen demonstration; the dishes are prepared and sampled both in the kitchen and seated together at the large “Tuscan Table” in the dining room with appropriate wine pairings and lively chatter about food and wine. By the end of each class everyone has made new friends, tasted new dishes and wines, and, best of all, shared a delicious and memorable experience. We invite you to join Shari and her friends to experience great cuisine in a one-of-a-kind experience.
