Any of these lessons – or anything else you have in mind – can be arranged for your private group of 6-10 by calling to confirm details and set a date.
Wondering who to invite? Friends, couples, book clubs, gardening groups, neighbors, and coworkers all enjoy a cooking lesson together. Don’t have a full group? Let me know and I can poll others to join your group.
Budding Chefs – Mexican Fiesta
Homemade Guacamole and Salsa with Chips, Mexican Casear Salad, Chicken Enchiladas, and Sopapillas with Cinnamon Ice Cream – a great beginner class for kids.
What’s for Dinner?
I’ll spend a bit of time talking about ingredients and reviewing how to stock your pantry and fridge to make creative meals with little to no fuss. Then the class will develop a menu based on what’s in my kitchen that night, cook the meal, and dine together.
Vegetables
Six Vegetables cooked with six different techniques and six different ways to flavor them – you’ll never be tired of eating your vegetables again!
Sweet and Savory Tarts
Make three types of crusts (flaky, nutty, and sweet), two savory tarts, and two sweet tarts and then dine on your creations and take home any leftovers.
Budding Chefs – Italian
Make marinara, Alfredo and pesto all from scratch and enjoy it with pasta, homemade meatballs, and a salad. Dessert can be just about anything the kids want to make to accompany the meal.
Fish
Intimidated by fish? Learn to cook five types of fish five different ways and you’ll never fear fish again!
Ethnic Menus
Italian, French, Thai, Mexican, Chinese, or just about anything else you want to learn – pick your country and we’ll build a menu around it.
