“Tom Robey, Executive Chef at Veranda on Highland, is ready, waiting, and very excited to teach a basic cooking class entitled “Cooking from the Farmer’s Market”, highlighting all the locally-grown fresh and delicious fruits and vegetables!
Be sure to bring with you any and all cooking-related questions for Chef ~ this is your opportunity to learn what you always wanted to know, but didn’t know who to ask! The Class will be held at The Veranda on Highland beginning at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 30th, a sort of pre-Fourth of July celebration, for all University Club members and potential members.”
