Adult Cooking Classes

Want to hold a dinner party that wows your guests without sending
you into a panic? Want to host an event that not only gives you
and your guests a scrumptious meal but also greatly enhanced cooking skills?

My private, in-home dinner party/cooking classes are a great way
to entertain guests and learn valuable cooking skills at the same time.
I will work with your group to develop a dinner menu that reflects
your group's preferences, dietary needs, and desired culinary skills acquistion.

Together we'll cook a gourmet three-course dinner from start to finish.
Your guests can participate as much or as little as they please.
All participants will receive a recipe packet, and I'll take care of the clean-up.

An average evening lasts 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 hours, depending on level of participation.
Pricing depends on the menu and group size, but average price per person ranges
between $100 - $125 with a $700 minimum. (Your group provides the wine.)
An optional hors d' oeuvres course is available for a small additional fee.

Please call for booking availability, exact pricing and references.

Children's Cooking Classes

Cooking and baking give even the youngest children an amazing sense of personal achievement and satisfaction.
For the child who likes to build and create, cooking offers hands-on lessons in math, science, history and more.
Plus, they get to eat the fruits of their labor!

I have been teaching cooking classes to groups of children
in different environments for the past decade: summer camp,
community education, the school class room, local mothers'
organizations and at private birthday parties.

I generally teach children ages 3 and older, and look forward
to working with your group to develop an
age-appropriate/skills-appropriate curriculum for the children
to master.
