Just as we've begun teaching Allyson's Confident Cooking Classes in Bend, there's already a national write-up in <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">The Business Newspaper for the Gourmet Industry: Gourmet News</span>.<br /><br />Visit <a href="http://gourmetnews.com">GourmetNews.com</a> or view the Full Story Below:<br /><blockquote>BEND, Ore.-After opening its second location here in February, Allyson's Kitchen began offering cooking classes last month.<br /><br />The two-level store has a demonstration kitchen with a six-burner range and built-in grill for its cooking classes. Last month, the store planned to inaugurate the space with hands-on classes including Sushi, Knife Skills and Italian Cuisine. Also on the roster are Thai cooking and Asian Cuisine.<br /><br />According to the store's blog, the deli counter here is larger than its sister store in Ashland. And this store features a rotisserie roasting free-range chickens, whole ducks and stuffed Cornish game hens. Prepared soups and gourmet to-go items are made on site and the store features in-store and outdoor seating.<br /><br />Allyson and Steve Holt opened Allyson's of Ashland back in 2000. While the store here is in a new building, "we are still incorporating many of the features that make our Ashland store so charming," according to the store's Web site. "Lots of wood fixtures, our signature stained concrete floors and warm lighting to make the experience all the more enriching."<br /><br />The stores sell All-Clad, Emile Henry and Le Creuset cookware and other well-known gourmet kithcenware, coffee and tea, and gourmet foods including rices, pasta, spices and specialty cheeses.</blockquote>Click for more information on our <a href="http://allysonskitchen.com/t-cookingclasses.aspx">Cooking Class Schedules in Ashland</a> or <a href="http://allysonskitchen.com/t-cookingclasses-bend.aspx">Cooking Class Schedules in Bend</a>.
