Cooking Classes

We offer in-home cooking classes for individuals, couples, groups and kids. Enjoy an evening of learning, cooking and tasting delicious food!

After we have arranged a date, time and menu, the Chef will join you in your kitchen with all the ingredients and materials necessary for the class. Cooking classes include custom meal planning, grocery shopping, meal preparation and clean up. Participants will be provided with the recipes of the dishes prepared during the session. Classes are 3 hours in duration and incorporate demonstration and hands-on participation to maximize learning and fun. Afternoon, evening and weekend classes are available.

 

How does it work?

  1. During an initial phone consultation we will discuss your culinary interests, dietary specifications, and/or food allergies.  We will use this information to create your personalized cooking class.
  2. After booking the date and time for the class a custom menu is created for your approval.
  3.  We shop for the groceries on the day of your class to ensure the freshest of ingredients.
  4. You cook, eat and learn together with meals custom-designed by you!

Types of Classes
