The culinary arts can be very intimidating. There was a time when cooking from scratch was the only option. Nowadays, preparing a meal entirely from scratch seems more closely related to ancient alchemy than a daily occurrence. Yet more of us than ever yearn to return to such culinary habits for a myriad of reasons: frugality, health concerns, avoidance of preservatives & additives, etc..
It’s no secret that I adore food. Designing a menu. Finding just the right ingredients. Tweaking the recipes until they taste just right. Enjoying the end result along with my two favorite men, Lee & Alexander. Another thing I enjoy just as much as all of that is sharing the passion for good food with other people. For many years, that passion was assuaged as the owner and chef of a successful catering establishment.
Which leads us to my new endeavor as a chef: teaching private, in-home classes of two varieties, Culinary Creations & Just Desserts.
Culinary Creations will allow up to 4 students to gather their groceries and perfect their culinary skills in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. The best part is enjoying the tasty results with your friends during the Q&A segment at the end of class!
Just Desserts will allow up to 6 students the opportunity to learn how to prepare two tantalizing desserts: one traditional, generally following French patisserie, and another avant garde, a modern rendition of flavors and design. The entire process, from measuring ingredients to preparing decorations, will be covered in this class.
