Are you looking for something new and exciting??? Our cooking events might be just what you've been searching for.
Together we can hone those culinary skills or just get together with some friends and/or family & have some fun.
Our classes are held at Silver Spring Gardens, Inc. in Eau Claire, WI. Silver Spring is the world's largest grower
and processor of horseradish. A family business for more than 75 years, Silver Spring takes great pride in the quality
horseradish they grow and the products they produce for retail, foodservice, private label, and industrial markets.
In addition to horseradish and horseradish sauces, Silver Spring markets a variety of specialty mustards and has
recently been rated one of America's fastest growing brands in the specialty mustard category.
Each class is designed to help our guests achieve the desired results in their own kitchens. Each
guest will participate in preparing a menu item in a team atmosphere. At the end of each class, we will enjoy a wonderful
meal and talk about all of our creations. You will leave with new skills and recipes in hand to try for others at home.
Group classes start with a minimum of 8 students. Fees start at $55.00 per person, depending on the type
of class and menu chosen. Classes can and will be designed to suit your needs. The cost of groceries, recipes and clean
up is included. Most classes last about 2 ½ hours. Class size is limited so please register early to ensure
a space!
Gift Certificates! Don't Forget Your Family, Friends and Co-workers. Do you know someone
who is celebrating an anniversary, wedding, bridal shower, birthday, or other special day? Wondering what to get that
person who has everything? We've got just what you need for all your special gift-giving occasions. A gift certificate
will be prepared for you to present to that special person. We'll make it the best gift yet!

Check out what our guests are saying …
"Chef Laurel's cooking class was one of the most enjoyable evenings I've had in a long time. Good atmosphere, great food, and top-notch instruction that I took home to my kitchen and really used! Next time I'll be bringing my wife!" -Todd Wekkin
"The class was very informative and fun! It was amazing to watch a group of strangers become friends through cooking. Laurel made everyone feel at ease. I definitely recommend the experience." - Kim Peterson
"I loved the whole night because I went into the kitchen not knowing anything, and left feeling more confident in myself and taking a chance at making any recipe. I also loved working with others and getting to know them while creating something special. Enjoying the sights and sounds of creating something that you get to taste in the end was really fun." - Ann Rienders
"My night out with a cooking adventure was wonderful, thank you so much for doing this. I am a same-old-same-old thing for dinner kind of cook and have craved a class like this for a long time. I knew about the classes in Stillwater but it was just not practical for me at the time. Beginning in September I will be an empty nester and I look forward to this new phase in our lives. Cooking with Laurel will be a staple on MY calendar for sure!" - Anna Mayer
"It was a wonderful class...and one that keeps on giving as I have already made Laurel's recipies at home for friends and family." - Sally J. Pathos
First, I would like to say what a great time my colleagues and I had at our Christmas party cooking class with Chef Laurel
and her helper, Dorie! Without exception, all of us not only enjoyed your recipes but also your method of instruction and
sense of humor. You both are so much fun, thanks for letting us let our hair down! You made three hours seem like less than
one. The classes were "hands-on," working side by side with Chef Laurel, with time to sip good wine!
I have also attended her individual classes and find Chef Laurel’s Cooking Class truly lives up to the promise of
"do-it-yourself" culinary elegance and memorable dining. The food is incredible and what you learn is invaluable... and
easy to replicate back home." - Patricia J. Markin, Investment Consultant, Wachovia Securities
