Cooking Classes Now Available

Here's an extra-special gift for the cook in your life! Cooking classes at the Fuquay Mineral Spring Inn! Gift Certificates are NOW Available!

Classes are held on Wednesday evenings from 6 - 8 pm at the Fuquay Mineral Spring. Chef Sharon Ricks teaches these wonderful and FUN classes. Chef Sharon earned an Associate Degree in Culinary Arts from Wake Technical Community. Her culinary style combines elegance with simplicity, together providing each student with a truly memorable event. Chef Sharon believes in a hands-on approach to teaching customers of any age. "It's the only way to build confidence in cooking," says Chef Sharon. The classes are fun and interactive, while being educational. It's all about turning the ordinary into something extraordinary.

The cost is $45 per person per class or $200 per person for 5 classes. Each class discusses healthy cooking tips for each dish and in general what one can do to cook healthier each day. Classes have no more than 10 people per class so individual attention is assured! Classes will begin in January.
