Pick from 4 different menus (or a menu can be customized to your needs.) Each menu includes an appetizer, main course, side dish, and a dessert. Each person learns how to cook and put together the complete meal, and then we sit down to eat!

We were included in a wonderful culinary experience, thanks to some very special friends. Not knowing what to expect, we were delightfully surprised by Chef Lynn's humor, knowledge and delicious cuisine. We have already incorporated several of her suggestions into our food choices and preparation. Her knowledge is invaluable! We highly recommend Orlando Cooking Classes for anyone desiring to learn basic cooking skills and, for "foodies" wanting to spent several hours enjoying great conversation and enjoying the fine art of food preparation. We thank our friends and Lynn for a memorable experience!

We were walking around downtown Mount Dora and wondered in. We loved the vibe of the the owner and the bar. It was really relaxing. We looked at the wine list. A good variety and reasonably priced. You can choose by the glass or bottle. We opted for a bottle of Pinot Noir at under $20.00. It was terrific and at under $5.00 a glass by the bottle a bargain. There was music. A musician playing guitar and singing. Music from the 60's to present day. Stop in you won't be disappointed! Tell Cary Paul sent you.

We walked and ate all day in My Dora, so an evening of wine and live music was wonderful ending to the day. Thank you!

My husband and I look forward to coming to the farmers market every Sunday. There are a variety of vendors selling fruits and veggies, goat milk products, desserts, breads, sauces, organic products (shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, etc), ice cream, fresh seafood, crafts, and so much more. The location is great with a view of the lake and there are many restaurants open where we have lunch after shopping. There is also a public restroom.
