Dinner Party Cooking Classes

Join me in my kitchen at home for a hands-on cooking experience. All my classes embrace the farm to table philosophy, often using ingredients from my own farm. You’ll always go home with the fruits of your labor. Contact me directly or through my contact page to set up your private class for up to eight students. You are welcome to bring your own beer or wine or arrange pairings for an additional charge from Winebow Fine Wines.
