Brown's Orchard Cooking Demo for Kids

Friday 7/23/10 at 10am at Brown's South, Loganville in the Brown Bean Cafe is offering  a Kid’s Class :  Make Your Own Pizza (ages 5-12)

Limited space so please pre-register by calling 717-428-2036.

Cost is $15.  The class will last until approximately 11:15am.

Kids pick their own toppings and make a savory pizza and a dessert pizza (to eat or take home). They will be making the pizza dough and learning about yeast. Steps to make any kind of pizza and recipes are included.

$15 for a lifetime of knowledge (and the ability to make pizza on pizza night instead of ordering potentially poor quality pizza!) is a pretty good deal!  Limited space- they are only accepting 10 children.  Hopefully if it's successful they will have more of these in the future.
