 Cooking Classes in Your Home

THE DETAILS
Through in-home cooking classes, students learn how to cook the foods they love to eat in a relaxing environment, in their own kitchen and with their own tools. To make the most of these classes, students begin by creating their own customized menu with the help of an encouraging and experienced chef-instructor. All done dressed in bodice and skirts too. To make it even more fun.

Classes are approximately 2 ½ hours and are centered around the preparation of a complete meal.

SCHEDULING

We can accommodate even the most difficult of schedules! Afternoon, after work, and weekend classes are all available. As a courtesy to the instructor, we require a 24-hour notice (by phone, please in case we don't catch the email) to reschedule any booked class.

LOCATION

Classes can be held in any home kitchen in Kenai and Soldotna. We are also happy to travel beyond the boroughs to teach, and traveling costs are based on your distance from Kenai or Soldotna. 

"IS MY KITCHEN BIG ENOUGH?"
As long as you can put a cutting board down (in the kitchen or on the dining room table) as many times as there are students, you can comfortably learn to cook in your home kitchen.

MENUS
All menus are tailored to suit the tastes and skill level of each student. For inspiration, browse through my most popular recipe's or think about your favorite meal from your favorite restaurant, something out of a magazine or cookbook you have always wanted to try or what your mother or grandmother used to make.

BIRTHDAY COOKING PARTIES

A cooking party is the perfect way to celebrate the birthday of a food lover. Not only does a cooking party provide an unbeatable hands-on activity to entertain, but the event culminates in a fully prepared meal (including dessert) for them all to enjoy. Even fussy eaters will be thrilled to eat something they have made with their own hands.

THE DETAILS
Hands-on cooking parties provide an interactive and fun activity for celebrating birthdays and showers as well as an ideal way for business colleagues to bond outside of work.
We run fully hands-on cooking parties and pride ourselves on teaching students how to cook from start to finish; nary an onion is peeled before we begin. A better sense of satisfaction and greater learning (and fun!) comes from creating a meal in its entirety. Larger, more formal schools will pre-prepare most of the meal and have you participate in cooking a fraction of it; we do not.

Party Pricing

(Includes all food, staff, and taxes, but not wine)
5 to 10 students: $100 per person
11 to 19 students:$95 per person
20+ students: $85 per person

30+ students: $75 per person

A 15% gratuity for the staff will be added to all parties.

IN-HOME COOKING CLASSES for KIDS & TEENS Afterschool cooking classes for kids & teens (5 years old and up) is a terrific way to expose both picky eaters and adventurous eaters--and everything in between--to new dishes they can make themselves. Cooking allows kids to open up to a whole new world of food appreciation by letting them take part in the process from start to finish, creating confidence and pride in the meal they've created. To boot, every class ends with a full dinner your whole family can enjoy together (read: you don't have to cook!).  You can set up private lessons for just one child, a group of children, or parent-and-child classes.   

 PRICING
Kids' parties for up to 8 guests: $600 (includes groceries)

More than 8 guests: $700 (to accommodate another chef)

Rabbit Fricassee
Ingredients:
 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
 1 teaspoon pepper 
2 rabbit, cut into small pieces
6 slices of bacon
 1/4 cup butter 
 1/4 cup cooking oil
 2 cups apple cider
1 cup heavy cream
2 tblsp fresh tarragon

 Directions:

      In a large skillet with an oven proof handle and tight fitting lid or dutch oven, melt butter, oil; then add the bacon. Soon as the bacon is brown remove it from the dutch oven. In a resealable plastic bag, combine flour,  salt and pepper. Add the rabbit pieces, and shake well. Saute the rabbit pieces, a few at a time, until browned. Add cider; cover and simmer for 50-60 minute or until tender. Remove the rabbit from the pan onto a warm platter and set aside. Reduce the pan juices until they begin to get very thick. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and add the fresh tarragon. Taste for seasoning. Pour sauce over rabbit and serve.
