No matter how good we are in the kitchen there are always new things we can learn, right? Perhaps you want to explore Southern Indian or Provincial Italian cooking, or how about the art of cheese making? Mario Batali's father, after retiring from Boeing, went to Italy to study sausage making. How fabulous would that be? People now queue up for his amazing links at Salumi.
After reading The School of Essential Ingredients, a wonderful book set in the kitchen of a restaurant, I've been noodling over the idea of taking a cooking class. So I went on TeachStreet  to find some classes in my area. Teachstreet is a great site that helps you find cool things you want to learn like Snowboarding, Pilates, Voice Lessons, Adobe, even Citizenship! For us food lovers maybe a course in Wine Appreciation, Knife Skills, or a series in Thai Cuisine. Take a Bartending course and awe your guests with your keen mixology skills!  Or, improve your "food porn" skills by taking a Digital Photography course. On the flip side perhaps you're one of those people who possesses a great skill. You can teach too! Here's how you can share your wealth of knowledge on Teachstreet.
Check out courses in your area or simply browse what's being offered. You never know what may spark an interest!
