News & Notes from BKB

December 15, 2009

Christmas is soon approaching and this might be a tad late for those of you who get Christmas shopping out of the way early but BKB has some great gift ideas for those who love food and love to cook.

Gift Certificates

Our gift certificates always make a great gift but they are especially perfect for stocking stuffers, teacher’s gifts, secret Santa gifts, or for coworkers because they come in $10 denominations.  Give someone the gift of great food without breaking your piggy bank.  There are ten days left till Christmas so hurry on down and get some.

BKB Cooking Classes

Purchase one of these classes for $30 or a package of 3 for $75.  This is a great gift for those who love to cook or would just enjoy a fun night out.  Buy a certificate and let them choose which class they would prefer.  Our first class coincides with Windsor Eats’ Winter Bites.  What better way to kick off Winter Bites than learning what makes BKB’s soups and stews so special.

On the third Sunday of each month BKB will be holding a series of cooking classes.  These classes will demonstrate the technique used to create the dishes as well as sampling the dishes themselves.  Participants will also get to sample wines that pair well with the dishes being made.  These classes are very informal and are meant to be as social as they are informative.  Cooking was meant to be fun.  Food, wine and friends.  Come alone or book as a group.  Attendance is limited to 20 people so book early.
