January schedule for cooking classes at the Maya Kitchen Culinary Center

Is cooking or learning a new skill one of your New Year’s resolution or a goal for 2012? Perhaps learning how to cook, or become a barista? There are just so many options to choose from Maya Kitchen Culinary Center.. There is basic cake decoration, and restaurant management.
