The First Lesson
For all package lessons, we’ll kick things off with knife skills, because, well, you need to chop before you can walk or in this case cook! You’ll spend this hour slicing and dicing like a pro while making a veggie stir-fry. Spoiler alert: It’s delicious and a great confidence booster.
Custom Lessons Designed for You
After the first session, it’s all about your culinary goals. Want to nail a crème brûlée, master gluten-free baking, or perfect your pasta-making skills? I’ve got you covered. Sessions are customized to what you want to learn.
​​
Here’s the fun part: if you book a 6 or 12 hour package, you can mix and match your session lengths as long as it’s in hour or half-hour increments.
Limited Spots Available
I only take on a small number of private students, so depending on demand, you might go on a waiting list. Most sessions happen on weekday evenings, but we’ll find a schedule that works for both of us!
