Introducing our Food is Fun Academy

 

At Murray's Cheese Boot Camp in New York City. 

Richard and I recently returned from our experience at Murray's Cheese Boot Camp in New York City truly inspired to offer our customers more opportunities to learn, try new things, and taste lots of good food, wine and spirits. 

As we were on the plane flying home, I thought about what Lark, Sandwich Bar and Lark Market is all about -- and that's discovering new, delicious stuff. And the name Food is Fun Academy popped into my head as an umbrella for the many things we want to do this year. 

We will be adding paid, limited attendance cheese and charcuterie board classes, wine and cheese pairing classes, wine tastings and more to the schedule starting in March, so look for those. You will be able to register on Eventbrite.

If you have a small local food business and are interested in offering a class through us, please contact me at joan@larkjanesville.com. We will only be offering food and beverage-related classes.

In the meantime, all of the following offerings are free with no reservations necessary. We look forward to seeing you this spring!
