Our time together

We'll set up a time to discuss your cooking needs and go over your kitchen equipment.
We design class curriculum based on what you like to learn and your skill level.
We do the shopping, then come to your house about 30 mins before the class to get set up.
We always review kitchen safety.
We'll go over the recipes for the class.
Chop, whisk, blend, blanch, shock, sear your way through amazing foods all prepared by you!
Finally, sit and eat the fruits of your labor!

Adaptive Classes

We create a space where there is no pressure to be perfect. Instead, we inspire people to experiment and teach them how to come back from “mistakes”. We also love to try new things and are great at motivating others to do the same.
Vast experience working with children and adults of all abilities. We cater to each person’s unique skill and developmental stages.
We keep the right balance of engagement, encouragement, inspiration/motivation and learning.
We have the skills to adapt quickly and easily to any situation. We can make content/ activity changes on the fly as we read the atmosphere of the class and the unique abilities of each student. This also allows us to bring out the best in people even if they think they have limitations.
We truly love to work with all abilities, if you have a question about how we can best work together with you, your child or loved one, please do not hesitate to call us.
