LAKE LINDEN -- Malcolm Hudson, chef at The Abbey in Lake Linden, has been giving cooking lessons to both children and adults. He describes his discovery that teaching kids can be "fun, invigorating [and] unexpected."

His last Saturday cooking seminar for adults this spring -- The Complete Brunch -- will  be held from 12 noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Apr. 23. more
