The Cooking with Michele® philosophy is different from traditional cooking schools. I believe in:
Teaching what you would like to learn
Not all students want to learn the same things. I select or create recipes specifically for you based on your interests and completely customize sessions to meet your culinary goals and your prior cooking experience.
Teaching in the privacy of your home – or inviting you into mine
Your own kitchen is where you will do most of your cooking and therefore I believe it’s important to learn where you will cook. Most home kitchens are not equipped with the professional gear used in popular cooking schools. My philosophy is to build your confidence by teaching you how to cook with your own equipment in your own kitchen. Alternatively, many students like to come to my well equipped kitchen and try out the equipment with a group of friends. Group classes can be scheduled during the day or evening and even on weekends in my kitchen.
Teaching a balance of what to cook and how to cook
With a focus on quality ingredients mixed to create sensational flavors you will learn how to select foods, what seasonings to use, and how to enhance food with sauces and garnishes. You will also learn which cooking method to use, from basic to advanced, to produce the best results. I will teach techniques appropriate for your level of expertise, your instructional goals, and the menu you have selected.
