Cooking Classes at Zola Wine & Kitchen

In the kitchen, your skills are more CYA than CIA.

But there’s an aid network burgeoning behind the walls of spy headquarters.

Get in on the secret with cooking classes, launching this week at the new Zola Wine & Kitchen (just behind the Spy Museum).

Sneak in some cultural training with a series on authentic Italian dishes or devote a bit of the weekend to learning comfort foods and classic desserts for Sunday supper. Go rogue with custom sessions in cooking or mixology, all taught in a test kitchen laden with more technology than a 007 flick.

When you’re through, nab discounts on purchases in the wine shop.

Consider yourself classified.

Available at Zola Wine & Kitchen, 505 9th Street NW, at E Street (202-639-9463).
