Anyone who has ever been to a Publix knows that the aisles are lined with some of the freshest and finest in quality foods available anywhere. Shoppers also know to follow the mouthwatering aromas to the Deli, Bakery and other Meal Solutions departments for the best in ready-made meals. But have you ever wondered how the chefs at Publix turn all those ingredients into the signature dishes you’ve come to love and crave? Do you wonder what other special holiday delicacies and dishes you can make with your weekly grocery list? Publix has you covered. At the Publix Aprons Cooking Schools in Orlando, master chefs offer hands-on instruction and laid-back wine-and-dine demonstrations, discussing a world of topics to inspire and elevate your culinary acumen—a gift for yourself and any friends and family you happen to be entertaining this holiday season. The Orlando area is served by two master chefs in two convenient locations: Chef Angela running her kitchen in Winter Park Village and Chef Emily plying her expertise at The Marketplace at Dr. Phillips. Both dish out a wide range of morning, afternoon and evening classes for adults, teens and kids at a range of affordable price points. Classes cover everything from how to make entrées and desserts to learning new cooking techniques and using special tools to pair your meal with the perfect wine or beer. The chefs also regularly welcome guest chefs, food experts and celebrities to spice things up. For instance, this holiday season, you can sign up to learn how to build gingerbread houses; bake holiday cookies; make stick-to-your-ribs, cold-weather comfort food; roll sushi; hone your knife skills; use just the right herbs and spices and get your children involved in a two-day holiday camp for kids or teens. Classes are offered seven days a week with times throughout the day to best fit your busy schedule. And while it’s always fun to get your apron dirty in a hands-on class, sometimes you just want to sit back and enjoy the show. That’s why Publix Aprons Cooking Schools also include demonstrations. It’s like watching a live cooking program—you can sit back, relax and watch the chefs and instructors prepare the menu right in front of you. Participants can follow along with the recipe, ask questions and, of course, sample the delicious results at the end. Holiday demos include a course on entertaining with wine ambassador Ken Simmons, steakhouses around the world and ideas for a beautiful holiday dinner for the entire family. Publix Aprons Cooking Schools are also proud to offer private, customizable classes in hands-on, demonstration or party-style formats. There are numerous menu selections and themes from which to choose, or you can create your own class that is tailored to your special occasion. Whether it’s a child’s party, a corporate team-building event, a bridal shower or a wedding anniversary, the master chefs can help make your event an unforgettable success.
