ShopRite of Morristown gets Customers Cooking

ShopRite of Greater Morristown unveiled its Village Food Garden Culinary Center this month, offering home cooks and culinarians of all skill levels a chance to hone their talents in the kitchen while making new friends over delicious food. “Cooking and seeing others enjoy a dish you have personally prepared is a wonderful way to bring people together,” says Perry Blatt, director of community relations at ShopRite of Greater Morristown. “Our hope is that the Village Food Garden Culinary Center becomes a community gathering place that enhances our customer’s appreciation of food and cooking.” The Village Food Garden Culinary Center, located in the year-round patio and outfitted with a fully-equipped kitchen and demonstration area, offers interactive classes and workshops lead by certified executive chef Danny Arturo:

Class themes will change monthly in accordance with the season. In addition, there will be monthly special events featuring celebrity chef cooking demonstrations and book signings. Below is a sampling of some of the upcoming events.

The classes also make great holiday presents!” Reservations can be made in-store only, at the Guest Relations desk. All children under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
