Celebrating 75+ In-Home Cooking Classes !

It all starts with an inquiry, a Groupon purchase and most often a friend referral
to schedule an In-Home Cooking Class.

This year, we started with a heavy load of Valentine's gift classes along with
birthdays, birthdays and more birthdays!
We've also done showers, new home gift parties, classes won through
silent auctions, and of course.... just because for fun for no specific
reason than to learn a new food to add to the daily grind of food.

Nutritionists often say we eat the same 30 or so foods and simply
rotate them every 2 weeks.  We all get in a food rut.
Why not have a little fun and learn a brand new food or a food
that you frequently order at a restaurant but don't know how to make?!

This year- my sous chef and I started by trekking through the snow
and traveling to people's homes often in the city.
We were and still are always greeted by the greatest people.
Our new clients are so hospitable, eager to learn, eat and drink!

It often starts with...
"IS EVERYTHING IN THE BAG/S?!?"
"WHAT ABOUT THE EGGS?"
"WE GOTTA GO... THERE'S GOING TO BE TRAFFIC?!"
"WAIT, IS IT THE DUMPLINGS THEN THE THAI MENU?"
" OR IS THE CUSTOM MENU THEN THE INDIAN MENU?"
"CENTER CITY THEN MAINLINE RIGHT!?"
"WE GOTTA GO, ARE THE APRONS IN THE BAGS?"
"RICE COOKER NEEDED OR NOT NEEDED?"

The questions can be endless.
But with everything in life, once you do something
a few times, you get it down and you gain life experiences
which is the best part of life. The memories and experiences
you gain and if you meet some cool people along the way...
life is good!

It's really and truly awesome to travel to people's homes and be in their kitchens.
Every single kitchen is different of course - from the set-up to the equipment
to the kitchen accessories...  some people have had wine parings with their
menus, others have had some chips and dip to snack on as we arrive,
some people will play some jazz, salsa or Pandora.
Pandora stations and music through a Comcast channel are almost always
on which is nice simply because... who doesn't like some back ground music right!?

We most often start with how to properly dice an onion...
along with many tips and tricks to use in your kitchen.
Along the many tips... the favorited one is the- grow your own scallions.
We haven't come across anyone yet who hasn't been intrigued by being able
to grow and cultivate your own scallions along with some other veggies as well
but the easiest is the scallion!
