Custom Cooking Classes
Create Your Own Experience!. Our program is fully customizable, we look forward to bringing your culinary ideas to life! We offer an array of options, each one completely customizable.
We can offer a virtual cooking session to a group up to 100 via Zoom or in the comfort of your own home. Whether you’re on a weekend getaway, celebrating something special or just want a reason to get cooking––come join me!
We create experiences that tell the story, honor the farmers and artisans who nourish our community. We can create behind the scenes farming and fishing tours. Come meet the fisherman or farmers who bring you your dinner!
We offer 1-2 hour cooking classes. And ½ day - 7-day retreats. We can also offer nutritional half-day sessions followed by a cooking class.
Together, we’ll work together to determine the recipe, menu, and techniques.
For each additional student, the cost is $25.00
One hour covers a dish and usually a sauce.
Two to Four hours covers a full meal.
Half-day and full-day “retreats” can cover a topic (heart-healthy, brain health, gut health, living well, etc..) and a follow-up meal. Classes are centered around eating seasonal, local, organic, grass-fed, wild and of course, sustainable!
We can get super fun and creative and teach a class for up to 3 hours.
The possibilities are endless.
We are a creative bunch and we like to have fun.
We would be happy to custom build a class with a better understanding of what you would like to learn.
