SUU Community Education offers summer culinary classes
By Haven Scott
The SUU Community Education program has several summer culinary courses. Resolve to decorate your next birthday cake, learn how to master that Dutch oven, or spend time with a loved one with classes for everybody.
JaNell Wood of Simply Delicious Confections in Cedar City is instructing multiple classes in cake decorating and hosting mother/child and father/child cupcake classes for both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.
“I grew up baking and making candy with my mom,” Wood said. “Over the years, I’ve come to realize that baking is about more than the food. It’s about people and the myriad of events in their lives that bring them together.”
Just in time for the warm weather, two Dutch oven courses are now open for registration this summer. Dutch ovens for beginners and “A Taste of the Old West” are being taught by Norm Forbush and Kendall Benson, two professionals with more than 60 years of combined experience using coal-fired ovens. Each course offers participants the chance to try out their new skills with outdoor cookouts.
And the Southern Utah Chef cooking class is back by popular demand from SUU Community Education. In Southern Utah Chef, local chefs teach participants how to prepare a favorite meal from their menus in the elegant setting of Cedar City’s Iron Gate Winery.
Iron Gate Winery has several options for guests to enjoy social activities in Cedar City, and Anthony Piersanti, director of operations, will instruct two courses to help participants better understand red and white wines.
“Southern Utah Chef is an amazing experience where local chefs, guests, and host are able to live, love, and laugh about everything food,” Piersanti said. “As far as our wine tasting classes go, this isn’t a pretentious class — it’s more of a lively experience that is accessible and fun.”
Most SUU Community Education classes are offered in short one-day to two-week sessions. For a complete lineup of summer courses, visit suu.edu/wise or call (435) 865-8259. For help registering for summer classes, stop by the office at 136 W. University Blvd., suite 3, in Cedar City.
