Cooking, bread classes offered at country inn

The Inn at Crippen Creek Farm in Skamokawa will be offering cooking classes to the community as well as their overnight guests.

Innkeepers, Kitty and Don Speranza are sharing their culinary talents and passion for food through a series of classes.

Classes vary from a two to three hour course to an immersion weekend for two or three couples with accommodations at the Inn. Couples booking a weekend stay may collaborate with the chef for a particular theme.

The current class schedule is:

• Beginning Artisan Bread Baking, January 26, 11 a.m. until 1:30 p.m., $50, including pizza luncheon.

• Quick Classic Pasta Sauces, February 2, 6-8:30 p.m. $65 including pasta dinner.

• Beginning Artisan Bread Baking, February 16, 11 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. $50, including pizza luncheon.

The Speranzas began cooking professionally in 1990 when they owned and operated Mangiamo! Catering and Italian Eatery in Portland. Currently they bake bread for the community on Fridays through a bread subscription. During the summer they sell their breads at the Two Island Farm Market on Puget Island.
