"Classes by Request"
Life post-Covid has me doing only private classes. No need to get you in my cozy kitchen with a group of strangers :( I've left some of my old schedule on the website (see below), just to give you ideas for your own classes.
Here's how it works:
- You choose a date/time and menu that you like. Classes can be held in my home or yours. See my "sample classes" page for menu ideas, and my "class calendar" page for dates. I prefer to do classes weekdays, between 9am and 6pm., with an occasional weekend day thrown in. Please note that weekend dates book quickly and pretty far in advance!
- In my home, you may have up to 4 students and the total cost is $240. So with 4 people, that would work out to $60/person.
- If you have the class in your home, prices start at @ $70/person (I will bring all food, cooking utensils, and recipes). There is a minimum charge of $280, with a $70 fee for each additional person after the 4th.
So take a look at my "sample classes" page to find a menu that appeals to you. Then gather your friends or family and let's start cooking!
- Upcoming Classes:
Thanksgiving 101: Three classes designed to take the stress out of cooking the big meal. Take one or all three! Call or email me to schedule...
