"Shars"

Maybe you have and then again, maybe you haven't, but in Gilbert there is a store called "Shars" (located on Gilber Rd, south of Baseline on the west side of the street). I had heard of it a while back from a friend who mentioned that a brother in our ward learned how to bake bread at her place. Anyhow, this place is so cool!!!
It is a store that sells Bosche, grain grinders, pressure cookers, cookware and kicthen gadgets galore!! Not only that, but she also sells food products for food storage, spices, flavorings, grains, recipe books, good nutrition stuff--period. I do not how, but my mom heard about it and told a couple of her friends and they started to come to her classes. She has classes once a month on canning, bread making and then three times a week, she has free cooking classes on various themes--for instance, this past week the theme was on cinco de mayo and next week the theme is on Mothers' Day. These classes are so fun to attend. She teaches her cooking class with using the grain grinder or the pressure cooker or the bosche, along with introducing all these fun cooking utensils, ingredients used for the recipes and then passes them around to everybody to look at. She is always putting the products she uses on sale. She usually demonstrates 3-5 recipes which she passes out copies of, to the class. If this isn't enough, everyone in the class gets to taste the finished meal--it is so yummie!!!! I brought a friend this last week and she really enjoyed it and will come with me next week when the moms' day brunch will be demonstrated--I am so looking foreward to that!!! Now for those of you that know me really well, no know that I am not the best cook in the world, but by attending these food filled classes each week, I can sure hope that someday I will be and I can thank Shar!!!!!

P.S. I am trying to get my mom to get me a bosche and a pressure cooker for mothers' day and for my birthday--I remind her every week--hee, hee!!

I love that store. I just got her grinder for my mother's day gift! I used her bread recipe and loved it. I am hoping for a bosche one day! We will have to go to some classes together.
