Dallas’ hottest chefs regularly share their expertise during Saturday cooking classes at Whole Foods Market. Classes include great food, samples, recipes and door prizes. All classes are $12 and are from 10 a.m. to noon. The great chefs of Dallas are tying on those apron strings for a good cause: All profits from the classes benefit Operation Frontline, a local anti-hunger program. Upcoming classes include Chris Svalesen, chef of the award-winning Fish restaurant Feb. 7 at the Skillman and Kingsley location; pastry chef David Brawley of Mi Piaci Feb. 21 at the Coit and Beltline location in Richardson; and Chris Huff of Palomino Euro Bistro March 14 at the Skillman and Kingsley location.
