Those Who Cant Do, Learn

We at the Babs Blog firmly believe that entertaining can be stress-free. So if your past cooking foibles are holding you back from hosting a dinner party, consider taking some classes. We recently told you about our girls' weekend experience at First Class Cooking in San Francisco. We had a great time, and learned lots! Cooking classes are available in many large towns, and are offered through community colleges as well. If you cant find any in your area, don't underestimate the value of a good cookbook, a knowledgeable friend or even cooking shows on TV. And if all else fails..... fake it! One of us once threw a dinner party comprised entirely of take-out, (served on lovely dishes, of course!) The guests all had a great time, and that really is what matters most!
