Cooking Classes

I teach cooking classes in the Bay Area: in my home, your home or at a rented event space.

Classes are available for students of all ages or a combination.

I offer a variety of classes on regional cuisines, basic cooking skills and more advanced techniques. Classes can also be customized.

Cooking Classes

I am in love with the seasonal produce and have much to share from 35 years in the food business, many miles of traveling where food is always my way of understanding culture, and many meals with my wonderful community.

The joy I experience in throwing a party comes through in my classes. They are a fun way to learn in a friendly environment, this is not a cooking competition! Classes can be one-on-one, a family cooking lesson with the kids, or a party with your friends.

I can teach you the basics of cooking, or we can explore a regional cuisine, a specific type of cooking method, or a dietary preference.

Private Chef Services

There are all sorts of reasons to have a private chef prepare meals for you, besides enjoying delicious food! If you have busy work and family life, having meals ready to eat, will feel like a luxury. If you have health issues, appropriate foods will keep you stronger and help to heal you.

I have over 35 years of experience teaching, catering, and event planning around the world! My c.v. includes being the director of catering at Market Hall, the director of operations at Project Open Hand, and currently on the staff of the Kitchen on Fire Cooking School in Berkeley.
