DAZZLE YOUR FRIENDS!
We came up with interactive cooking classes to teach specific cooking styles as well as conceptual culinary
design to individuals or better yet, groups of friends. It has since evolved from a hands on instructional session to
a new type of dinner party focusing on restaurant style plate presentation along with useful tips and behind the scenes tricks
used by professional chefs. Several approaches to cooking style and ease are explored. We guide you through the
principles of fundamental cooking methods that you can depend on for a lifetime. The concepts and professional techniques
learned will not only improve cooking skills, but also strengthen confidence, creativity and imagination.
Here's how it works: We consult with the client on what their goals are in taking a cooking class.
We then decide on a theme- creative hors d' oeuvres, holiday menus, kid's corner, baking and pastry, nutritional cuisine,
the "wild" side of Mushrooms, regional cuisine, Sushi and Sashimi (most popular) etc. The classes are held in the
client's kitchen where I set up individual prep and cooking stations for each guest. The class begins with
a discussion of food and culinary philosophy along with a run down of the day's "prep list." Students then learn
to chop, dice, whisk and cook their way through the recipes of the day, with the chef providing experienced hands and guidance.
The work for the individuals is simple and exciting. After the food preparation is complete, students get
to enjoy the fruits of their labor along with matching wines. The class is wrapped up with a brief open discussion
where students have a chance to ask any questions about the day. Clear and easy tips on shopping and handling for new
and exotic foods and flavors are provided, as well as entertaining and wine pairing ideas. Each class is about 3
hours.Activities For Corporate Team Building: what a GREAT way to personalize a team building activity than to do it through
