Down the block from us, we first heard the sounds of people scrubbing and cleaning, then noticed the subtle transformation that the installation of festive flags and canvas canopies can make to an outdoor space. And finally, the sign itself went up announcing the opening of Renee and Nicholas Price’s Fire and Earth Kitchen. These two chefs are offering group and private cooking classes as well as preparing meals for families and small groups to “share the secrets of effortless meal preparation, and expertly show how down to earth and delicious vegan meals can be.” For more information, see <fireandearthkitchen.com>.
