Saltine Baking Company isn’t about cookies and cupcakes; it is a savoury-driven bakery. Owner and head baker Ashley Schamlenberg wanted to differentiate her business from the existing bakeries in town. She was also a cook before she learned to bake, working in fine dining and developing a passion for farm-to-table cuisine.
Bonding over our love of cooking
Valuing experiences over possessions, backed by science
Before my husband Sean and I were married, we would spend a romantic evening together cooking dinner as a date night. It was a relaxing way to unwind after a busy day. Plus, we both love cooking.
This year, I scoured the Internet for something special to do to celebrate Valentine’s Day. I came across the Schoolhaus Culinary Arts website. It’s a local cooking school which has a motto, “There’s a Chef In All of Us.”
A few years ago, we took an Italian cooking class from that same school. We really enjoyed it. The in-person class took three hours, from preparing the food to enjoying the meal. There were about 12 people in that class.
