Comments for Hardester’s Markets to boast new culinary school in Hidden Valley Lake at http://lakeconews.com , comment 1 to 2 out of 2 comments http://lakeconews.com Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:16:26 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/5352/928/#comment-7239 Cooking classroom instruction from a real chef taking place next door to a grocery store is an excellent idea. I am surprised it has not happened before now. You take the class, purchase the cookware after the class, then open the sliding door to the grocery store to go purchase the food to use with your new utensils and knowledge on how to use them. Talk about convenience! Wow! The Chic LeChef/Hardesters connection is win/win. However, this mutual collaboration idea need not be limited to cooking utensils and groceries. There are a lot of wonderful opportunities for small businesses in the same shopping center and elsewhere to give each other a \"mutual uplift.\" In fact, I think this type of arrangement is extremely practical during these difficult economic times. In fact, there is now a special interest group called \"Clusters\" that meets weekly to discuss ways small businesses can help each other out.

It\'s a fantastic idea. - purplegirl Fri, 22 Aug 2008 07:45:48 +0100
