DC/NoVa Cooking Class Recs

[Anonymous]

We meet a couple other families at the beach every year and there's been an ongoing cooking contest between the families. One of the others has been baking bread several times a week in order to perfect their technique by August. We're pretty decent home cooks/foodies, but I think we need to step up our game since we've done plenty of BBQs, roasts and variations on lobster bakes. We need a couple fancier ideas to feed a large group (about 15-20) that won't take a full day of prep and I'm willing to take a some classes to work out my technique. Any suggestions or recommendations for cooking classes in DC/Arlington/Alexandria so I don't have to schlep out to L'Academie? How about impressive looking/tasting dishes for large groups?

I think that PP means Culinaria. I haven't taken a class there, but my husband has taken three there and he said they were excellent.

Not PP but it is CulinAerie. My cooking instructor from L'Academie is one of the co-founders.

I'm the PP and I apologize. I didn't realize there was a CulinAerie. My post still refers to Culinaria in Vienna.
