“I came up with this idea just to teach one concept on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. because it tends to be downtime for families,” Anastasio told A4 in April. “It’s only one hour long and at the end of the class, the participants have each made dinner for their families and have a new technique that they can work into their regular cooking rotation.”
