Popped our heads into Cook (253 S. 20th St.), restaurateur Audrey Claire Taichman's pretty-much-complete Rittenhouse demo kitchen and epicurean boutique, yesterday evening.

The space will not open to the public until Tuesday, Sept. 6, but that hasn't stopped them from opening up online registration for the inaugural season of culinary events, the first of which will feature the don Georges Perrier. (Peep September's scheduled classes in full after the jump.) Moving forward, there'll be both daytime and nighttime classes, touching on everything from breadmaking and cocktail mixing to Vietnamese cooking and grilling.

The amorous color palette that characterized 20th and Rittenhouse's last tenant, Snackbar, has been brightened and dare we say Ina Garten-ed a bit, with white tile everywhere and a pert wall unit that'll soon be stocked with Cook's cookbook selection, pantry items (many crafted and packaged in-house) and kitchen tools. The room revolves around the demo island, tricked out with burners and a grill, plus shiny news ovens, sinks and cabinetry where the bar used to be. The space completes a pretty trifecta for Taichman, who's already got Audrey Claire and Twenty Manning Grill on the same block.
