It’s hard to believe that this spring marks the 17th year of cooking classes at the Dallas Farmers Market, but that is the reality, folks. And you’d better sign up fast—the lineup for the program, sponsored by the Dallas Farmers Market Friends and the good ol’ AIWF, is stellar. Lead-off hitter will be Kent Rathbun, who is taking some time off now that Abacus is closed for remodeling. (Believe me when I say that “time off” to Kent is not like “time off” to us. This dude never stops.) Anywhoo, Kent cooks on April 26th and is followed the following Saturday by Kevin Maxey from Craft. The classes are held every Saturday from 11:30 AM until 1:00 PM. After Kevin, the classes include Jason Weaver (French Room), Tom Fleming (Central 214), and Scott Romano from Charlie Palmer at the Joule. For information, please call 214-653-8088. Ask about their special price packages. (Hey, this is a great Mother’s Day gift.)
