first cooking class experience.
“I’m having a lot of fun, except
for the lack of wine,” said student
Tom Fritschler.
Wine was not served in the class
because it was held on school prop
erty. Sparkling mineral water was
served instead.
“My wife’s making me take this
class,” laughed Steve Riddell.
Riddell is not a student at Clackamas;
he heard about the class through a
friend that works at the college.
The class, pictured left, is learn
ing how to make a northern Italian
dinner.
Two more classes are scheduled.
Friday, May 11 features Mediterra
nean dinner salads and Friday, June
1 features Pasta Possibilities.

The first of three cooking classes
was held last Friday at the Cougar
Café taught by Anne E. Grassi,
Clackamas executive chef; seven
people attended.
This is Grassi’s first time offering
these classes.
“It’s just kind of a trial to see if it’s
going to work,” said Grassi. “The
kitchen the class had to learn in is
considered a working kitchen; it is
not designed to be a teaching
kitchen.”
Grassi decided to try these work
shops in response to requests from
students and staff. ‘T ve been over
whelmed by interest,” said Grassi.
