Milwaukee Public Market holds its cooking classes in Madame Kuony's Kitchen. It's a demonstration kitchen on the market's second level in the Historic Third Ward. The kitchen is named for Madame Liane Kuony, a pioneer of organic cooking, and her students dedicated it to her. Classes are taught by market vendors, local chefs and sometimes nationally known cookbook authors.
Most classes are demos. You watch the instructor cook, get printed recipes and taste each dish. Evening demos such as Katsu & Curry: Panko to Plate, Mastering Risotto and Back to Basics, Cooking 101 cost $45. A few classes are hands-on. In Fall Floral Cupcakes ($89) you decorate six cupcakes. Pour Inc. leads seasonal cocktail demos for $69, and kids ages 5 to 10 get holiday sweet-treat sessions. Beer and wine are for sale during class.
Most adult classes start at 5:30 pm on weeknights. Every class listed through early December is sold out, so book early. Companies can book team-building nights, where staff are guided through a multi-course meal and then sit down to eat it together. The market has a 4.7 Google rating from more than 12,500 reviews.
