Yes, you could take a cooking class from one of those “big schools” – you know, the ones with the fancy utensils and overly poofy chef’s hats. But how much can you really learn by simply watching from a table with 30 other people? Research (okay, my psych-major daughter) says that if you’re like most people, the answer is almost nothing. My classes, on the other hand, are 3 hours of fun, food and hands-on learning, in a very small setting (1-4 students). They range from the very basics, to the very advanced!
Weddings/Anniversaries: remember, food is love!
Graduations: send your grad into the world with the ability to cook more than instant ramen
Birthdays: a fun and different way to celebrate – same delicious food, but no restaurant crowds or noise!
Mothers/Fathers Day: so much better than another tie or manicure
Class prices start at $240 (total) for 1-4 people (divide that by 4 people and it comes to only $60 per person) and that includes all food, recipes, and approximately 3 hours of hands-on instruction. All of the food you prepare is yours to take home...be sure to bring some "to go" containers!
Please note: I'm sorry but I'm not selling gift certificates at this time. I have a family member who is ill and I may be taking some time off from teaching to care for him. If you would like to book a specific date in the near future however, I'd be willing to do that. I have a calendar on my website. Any date that isn't marked "not available" can be booked by contacting me directly.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
How about a party at your home?
Wouldn’t it be nice if all you had to do for your next party was choose the date and the guest list (okay, easier said than done) and the rest would magically be done for you?? Call EATSIES and that’s exactly what will happen, with me as your trusty fairy godmother!
I’ll bring the party to you with a hands-on cooking class, where your guests will not only learn to cook, but will actually prepare the entire meal! Buying chips and dip is SO last year.

"I’m torn between wanting to tell everyone and wanting to tell no one about Chef Teri…. My 11-year-old and my 14-year-old recently took 2 cooking classes with Chef Teri, each with a small group of their friends, for a total of 4 different classes and 14 different girls. All the girls had a blast, and they came home with the confidence and skills to cook these items for themselves. We’re talking fresh, healthy, delicious, ethnically varied food that you would learn how to make in an adult cooking class. I’m a big fan." -Tara N., La Jolla, CA
