Dear Friends of the Cooking School,
Another savory summer has come to a delicious end. Food For Thought, the new blog generated by the Cooking School, debuted in May. With our focus on creating great food,
we thought now was the time to team up with all the departments at Jungle Jim’s to provide
a forum to showcase recipes, tips and products our customers might enjoy. Please give the
blog a look and give us some feedback by commenting.
Our early summer trip to the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy exceeded our expectations. Don Govoni was the perfect tour guide
whose passion and knowledge for the cuisine of his ancestral home made each culinary experience exciting. Attending a local
asparagus sagra (food festival) was special because we were the only Americans to have ever visited in the 43 years of operation
and we were presented with a certificate of attendance! Our sumptuous seafood lunch in Rimini was a culinary highlight. It’s difficult
to select a couple favorites because the entire trip was memorable. Our suitcases came back loaded with local specialties we can
share with friends and family. Watch the blog for posts about our culinary excursion.
Before we know it, fall will return and with it, our favorite classes for the holidays. You will find annual holiday “classics” along with
some new additions that will add some excitement to your autumn table. When cool weather hits, get fired up and join me as I
bravely demonstrate the how-tos for deep-frying a turkey in my tailgating class!
Thank you for including us in your holiday plans. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you this fall.
P.S. Thanks to City Beat for naming us 2013 Best of Cincinnati - Best Cooking Class
Bon Appétit!

Elizabeth Romero and Kristy Crouse – New Chef!
We are two friends who share a love of baking and
eating all things sweet. The silly thought of a sweets
truck came about in the fall of 2011, and after seeing
that other cities actually have cupcake and sweet
trucks ~ our silly idea didn’t seem so far-fetched after
all. The SugarSnap! Truck is a unique mobile bakeshop
serving the Greater Cincinnati Community. The truck
will serve the business crowd downtown, drop by office
parks for mid-afternoon-pick-me ups, and participate
in festivals and private events. Our treats are made
without artificial flavors and preservatives and are
best eaten sooner rather than later. Our sweets are
handmade in small batches, fresh on the day
of purchase.

Wine and Food Class

With John Bostick
Enjoy the fresh flavors and lush
wines of the most well-known wine
and food destination in America.
Back from a trip to the region, John

MAQ (Most Asked Question!):
Is this class hands-on?
Answer: The majority of our classes are
demonstration. The chef makes the meal and you
sit back and enjoy the class. The hand icon beside
a title means that you don an apron and prepare
the meal with the help of the instructor and our
staff. Because students have requested MORE
hands-on classes, we have obliged by offering
MORE great choices for the fall.
