BRANDYWINE COUNTRY COOKING SCHOOL

Enjoy the beauty of the Brandywine Valley, the elegant surroundings of Hamanassett and sumptous cuisines prepared by you in a day long hands on cooking class.  (If you are more comfortable just watching, that's okay too.) 

All classes will begin with a welcoming reception on Sunday night so participants can meet each other.  Class will be held all day Monday after a wonderful Hamanassett breakfast.  If you would like to extend your visit to tour the Brandywine Valley on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, we will offer participants a discount off our normal rates.  Space is limited and rooms are first come first serve so ensure getting your choice of your rooms by booking early. This is the perfect gift for that person who has everything.  Buy a gift certificate and let them choose the class of their choice.
