Chef Timothy Garling’s Jackalope Grill Cooking Classes Sold Out

Cooking classes with the Jackalope Grill’s Chef Timothy Garling have become the hottest culinary ticket in Central Oregon. In January and February Garling sold out every available space in four class sessions. March’s classes, “Sauces II - More Contemporaries and Classics” have now filled, as well.

To avoid disappointing food lovers and cooks, the Jackalope has started a waiting list and will offer spots in future classes to those on the list first before opening enrollment to the public.

In his classes, Garling teaches a small group how to prepare specific dishes, kitchen and cooking tips and other secrets gained during almost 30 years as a restaurateur and chef.

“When they arrive I have a handout of all the recipes for food eaten and prepared,” says Garling. “We prepare a dish or two together, sit down and enjoy the food with a glass of wine or two.”

Cooking classes are on Monday nights, starting at 6:00 pm at The Jackalope Grill and are limited to just 10 participants. Cost is $50 person. To reserve a space, call The Jackalope Grill at 541-318-8435. For more details, visit www.JackalopeGrill.com.
