I’ve taken everything I learned at Le Cordon Bleu and over my past 20 years of teaching and distilled it into this three-day, hands-on workshop. We will meet for three consecutive Wednesdays and together we’ll cover the essential skills every cook needs—knife skills, sauces, equipment essentials, perfectly cooked proteins, vegetables, emulsions, eggs, seasoning to taste, meal prep and even some easy to whip up desserts. Whether you’re brand new to cooking or ready to sharpen your skills, you’ll leave with recipes, techniques, and the confidence to cook well for life. The class will be mainly instructional with a hands-on component each night. You will receive samples of each dish throughout the evening.

Each recipe in this course is more than just a dish—it’s a teaching tool, chosen as a way to spark conversation and practice the fundamental techniques that make you a confident cook.
