Carol and Jerrie Lou, along with Phil and Eileen Brewer, planned and put on a lovely meal for all who registered to come out to the cooking class this Sunday.
Almost 40 people attended and it looked like everyone was happy.
Several ladies helped to serve the dished-up plates to the people sitting at the tables, and the meal began.
The theme was Greek and so the foods for the meal were minestrone soup, roasted mini potatoes, glazed carrots, green beans, Greek salad, spanakopita, and rice.
Dessert was a apple strudel. The interesting ingredient was ground up gingersnap cookies to give it more depth of flavour.
People exclaimed how delicious the whole meal was.
Cookbooks were for sale and many people bought them.
Here are a few pictures to help you see what a great time it was.
