“Knead” some one-on-one time with the oven? Check out the latest classes at The Cook’s Warehouse Midtown location. Bread Baking Encore Hands On (March 20, 9:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.) teaches bread-baking essentials and discusses the necessary tools, techniques and recipes needed to master the skill. If you’re looking for something more unique, check out Gluten-Free Baking Hands On (March 21, 1:00 – 4:00 p.m.), which provides gluten-free recipes using wheat substitutes such as tapioca, rice and almond flours. For a bit more fun, stop by the Warehouse on March 11 (6:30 – 9:00 p.m.) for the third annual Great American Baking Contest, benefiting Share Our Strength, an organization working to end childhood hunger in America. The contest will feature competitions between professional pastry chefs, amateurs and children, along with judging and a dessert reception; tickets required. — Allison Goldstein
