Mattapoisett Recreation will offer two cooking courses with local chef Colby Rottler this spring:

Cooking Basics Workshop
On April 12, Rottler will help his students bring their cooking skills to the next level and make cooking easier and more enjoyable. Learn about spice and herb combinations, knife skills, and food preparation and presentation.

Prepare a meal from appetizer to dessert, and plan on sampling along the way. Bring take home containers for your prepared goodies.

The class will be from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and costs $45.

Healthy Cooking
Rottler will teach students how to use local produce as well as lower calories and retain taste in recipes. Appetizers, salads, soup, entrees, and vegetable dishes will be covered in the class. Sampling and recipes will be provided. Bring containers to take home the goods.

The course is on May 17 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and costs $45.

Both classes are held at Kitchen & Bath Details, located at 81 ½ Fairhaven Rd, (Route 6), Mattapoisett.
