~ The Occasional Chefs’ Cooking Classes ~
Our group cooking classes are fun, entertaining & informative. Whether you are local residents or vacationers looking to spend a fun afternoon together, this is a great way to share quality time as you prepare & enjoy some delicious food. Classes are offered either at your rental mansion or at the chefs’ home, so call ahead now to arrange for some 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 also 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 so we can customize our sessions and focus on your interests and requests. From making a simple appetizer or homemade soup to making and enjoying a sit-down gourmet meal prepared jointly by class members and chefs, you can choose your own itinerary.
