class schedule for 2012 canning series

My class schedule is now available for the summer canning season. Sign up soon – class size is limited and they fill quickly. I hope you will make 2012 the year you start canning.

Classes are held in my Washington DC home kitchen and are limited to six students.

• Skill building, healthful eating and a focus on seasonal ingredients.
• Contact me for further information or to register.
• I am also available to teach any class, or one we create together, in my kitchen or your home, for groups no larger than six.

To register for a class, simply send me an email at mrswheelbarrow@gmail.com. I’ll let you know if there is room in the class, and how to send payment to reserve your seat.
