Mmm...Washington Island Doughnuts...

Many folks recognize Washington Island as a tourist destination or as the source of precious grains for Capital's Island Wheat. I personally have never been to Washington Island and so was surprised to receive a postcard recently from the Washington Hotel there. In addition to being in the hospitality industry, the folks there also have a culinary school. The next class right up Homer Simpson's alley - Doughnut Making. It's on 4 August. The 9th & 10th features The Art of Bread Making with an Artisan Cheese Seminar a few days later on the 15th. My personal favorite is the Chocolate & Spice Lovers' Weekend next year on 11 & 12 February for Valentine's Day.

Valentines Overnight Package for Two Includes one nights lodging with breakfast, curry cooking demonstration by Chef Leah Caplan, spice lovers' dinner in the hotel's historic dining room, fireside chocolate and wine tasting with John Verbeten of L'eft Bank Wine.

For more info, check out the class schedule.
