COOKING CLASSES
My cooking classes are held in my home and are intended to help change the mentality of those that think good food is hard to make. Many are intimidated by either certain ingredients and/or cooking methods. My goal is to help encourage people to take that chance and try something new. I believe my teaching methods help to accomplish that.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
Most classes are $45/person, are about two to two and a half hours long, and have a maximum of five to six people. There is a different food theme for each class. Classes are very hands-on which allows for real learning. For example, I do not show you how to make a five spice port glaze, you make it, so that you remember. Included with the classes are: recipe cards for all foods made, and a three to four course meal including an appetizer, main meal, and dessert unless otherwise noted.
Feel free to email me concerning special dietary needs. I have access to a Registered Dietitan 24-7. Also, if you would like cooking classes held at your own home or for any other questions, please contact me via email or phone.
COOKING DEMONSTRATIONS:
Recently I have been doing demonstrations for local libraries, wineries, and other events. During a cooking demonstration I come in to your facility and demonstrate how to make a certain dish or recipe.
Currently, I am involved with a food and wine series with Brotherhood Winery. This series involves food and wine pairings. The purpose is to showcase their wines with my own recipes. The goal is to show that when the right food is paired with the right wine, the result is a truly delicious experience. Check out their website for more info.
PRIVATE DINNER PARTIES
Private dinner parties are great for special events like holiday parties, cocktail parties, a ladies night in party, or a private dinner for two. I bring all the equipment and ingredients to your desired location, and the best part is that clean up is on me!
PRICES
For either service, price is determined based on size of event, ingredients requested, and hours of time sevice is needed for.
Contact me for any questions.
