In my quest to find and bring you all good things related to food in the Delaware River region, I decided to change course from my normal restaurant hidden gems and found myself at the Cookery Ware Shop in Lahaska / Peddler’s Village.

I “discovered” this hidden gem a few years back when I was looking for some cast iron pans. What I found was an amazing collection of essential items for chefs of all levels, from the beginner to the seasoned professional.

But when it comes to items for my home, there’s nothing like putting my hands on them. If I’m buying a knife for potentially hundreds of dollars, I want to feel the curves of its handle and feel its heft. I want to see its exact shape and size. Do I need a 6″ or 8″ blade?

This week’s class was about roasting. Sure, roasting, I thought. Toss something in the oven. Let it cook until it smells good. Voila! Well, maybe not…

The Farm Cooking School is what you get when you combine world-class chefs, avid foodies and the farm culture along the Delaware.

We are incredibly fortunate to have this gem, hidden in our backyard. In fact, I was happier to find the Farm Cooking School than I would have been if I stumbled upon a real diamond in my lawn. After all, learning how to cook is gives me a skill that I will enjoy for the rest of my life, while a diamond is just pretty to look at.
