100 days to Essen Kinder!

A sixty-degree plus day like today makes me feel confident we're inching our way towards summer.  Good thing because today begins our 100 day countdown until the first of the 2009 Essen Kinder Kids Cooking Camps - June 15.  Our planning's been in full swing for some time and have we got great things to share with you:

• A little of this, a little of that.  We've listened to your valuable feedback and are thrilled to announce our "Potpourri" theme for this summer.  Special Event meal one day; Food-on-the-Go on another (we all need new ideas for packing lunches and picnics!); we'll focus on baking savory and sweet breads and crackers (with homemade butter, of course); if you bake, you'll need jams, preserves, spreads and dips to put on top; and, finally, we announce the return of "Top Chef" team cooking day.
• Our kitchen.  We've moved downstairs at the newly renovated, beautiful JCC into the spacious commercial kitchen.  Air-conditioned, large enough for ginormous parties, easy outdoor access for al fresco dining.
• We've grown up.  Teens have the opportunity to cook with Essen Kinder this summer, June 15 - June 19.  Same small groups and hand-on environment.  More grown-up recipes and flavors.
• Afternoon option.  If it's June in Lancaster, it's all about swim teams.  This summer teens have a great option - work your muscles in the morning, use your brain and satisfy your senses in the afternoon with Essen.
• Tell your friends.  If you do our work for us, we want to thank you.  Don't forget you'll receive 1 Essen Gelt with every referral.  Combine that with the 1 you receive with your Camp reservation and you've practically earned a FREE Class.
  

Hurry, hurry.  Reserve your child's spot now.  Before you know it, we'll be counting down to autumn.
