The Occasional Chef’s Cooking Classes
Our group cooking classes are fun, entertaining & informative. Whether you are local residents interested in cooking lessons, or vacationers looking to spend a fun afternoon together, this is a great way to share fun quality time. Classes are offered either at your rental mansion or at the chefs’ home, so call ahead now to discuss logistics and make arrangements for your engaging culinary activity.
Hands-on participation is our motto! Classes will include professional culinary demonstrations and will cover basic cooking techniques and secrets of the trade, food safety basics, menu planning ideas, plus hands-on participation in prepping your gourmet fare or menu of choice. Each class will provide ingredients, recipes and menu suggestions based on your chosen theme, and will be priced accordingly. Class times will vary according to your selected cuisine. Your input is very important to us since we customize our sessions and always focus on your interests and requests. From making a simple appetizer or homemade soup to making and enjoying an entire sit-down gourmet meal prepared jointly by class members and chefs, you choose your own itinerary. Whichever dishes you decide to make you may either take home or sit and enjoy at the end of the class.
