Anyone can learn to cook confidently and creatively. Learn time honored techniques and have fun too! Next time you have a gathering, your guests will taste the difference. Our classes are a "hands-on" method and everyone participates in learning the techniques being taught. Class size is small for one-on-one instruction from the chef. Every class ends with a sit down meal you and your classmates have just prepared. We provide all the tools, equipment, and food for the class. If you just take one class or all four, you will have gained new knowledge and experience to become a more confident and creative cook.
