I have all these sharp things, how do I use them?
Got a knife set once upon a time and wonder what they’re all for?When purchasing knives
we usually get a block filled with them. This class will teach you how to use the most
important ones as well as the not so often used ones.
Also, if you don’t own any we’ll discuss the essentials and what to buy.
NOTE: This is an excellent choice for a first lesson.
Aside from dusting them, what can I use them for?
How many appliances or utensils do you have in your kitchen, and how many do you know
how to use? Many of us have received these as gifts or hand me downs and we have
no idea what they are and/or how to use them.
This class will help you to use the items in your kitchen that are taking up valuable space.
Where did I put ____ (fill in the blank)?
You’re in the middle of preparing a meal and you can’t find a tool you know you have,
somewhere. An organized kitchen is half the battle of cooking.
Taking the time to inventory your kitchen and the items you use regularly, and those you don’t,
will allow us to find the best place for you to store your utensils, pots, pans, and equipment,
so when you are cooking you always have what you need.
So, what should I have in my kitchen?
What are the essential pieces of cooking equipment, knives, and/or appliances you should have in your kitchen? What food items should always be in your pantry?
Learn what items most home cooks use and what staples should always be on hand.
But, I don’t like leftovers!
You made too much food and don’t want to eat it again or have it turn into a science project in your fridge. Wasting food is worse than eating a rerun, right?
This class will help you see how leftovers can become a new and exciting meal by adding some ingredients, making it a different meal than the night before.
Waste, I have way too much waste!
We run to the grocery store and have to purchase more than we really need for the one meal
we’re cooking. Learning how to plan meals for a week and then shopping once a week
makes cooking more economical and waste a thing of the past. This class will help you
understand the best way to plan meals around the ingredients you want to use and
how to shop for them so you don’t waste more than you eat.

Want to wok healthy?
You can stir fry without oil or, at least, less oil? Yes, you can!
Some protein, some vegetables and a little ingenuity are what this class will help
you learn to put together into a great healthy stir fry. No wok, no problem.
A large skillet will do.
Roasted chicken, some potatoes and vegetables all in one pan for 4 people!
Sound too simple? Sounds too easy to clean up afterwards? What if you could not only do this, but get it ready in 2 hours?
This class will teach you how, with the right equipment, you can cook a delicious simple meal in no time. This meal can be prepped and in the oven within 15 minutes so you can enjoy your guest’s company instead of spending the night standing over the stove.
Don’t have a recipe? Who cares? Make it up!
Ever just want to make up a meal with what you have in the house? How about letting me come over and show you how to do that?
Understanding what goes well with what and how to put them together is a key to creating your own specialties.
This class will help you better understand how to take what you have and create a meal by helping you mix and match flavors and textures. It will also discuss what you should always have on hand for when your creativity is ready to take over the kitchen.

What wine goes with my food?
Ever wonder if white is better with a dish, and if so, which varietals? How do you choose from all those different varietals and blends out there?
A guest wino will help you understand how to pair your specialties with the right wine.
This class will provide you the ability to taste these wines with a meal you will prepare to see how the taste of the wine and food changes when paired together
