Want to learn how to cook, improve your cooking skills, or just pick up a few new recipes? Live in the SF Bay Area? I've been teaching both children and adults all kinds cuisines and techniques and can specially tailor classes to what you want to learn.
I received the Diplôme de Cuisine at Le Cordon Bleu, Paris in 2006. While there, I gave market tours, interned at a Michelin-starred restaurant, and even used cooking sessions to help French children improve their English-language skills.
After cooking school, I moved to Boston, where I interned as a test cook at America's Test Kitchen, testing recipes, techniques, and working on their public television show. I also had the fortunate opportunity to work under Chef Barbara Lynch at Stir, acquiring a love for cookbooks and picking up some great restaurant tips and techniques along the way. I also I worked at create a cook as one of their main instructors and taught children ages 3 - 15 basic skills, safety, healthy eating, new flavors, and global cuisines. Adults weren't left out: I put together cooking parties, doing all the planning and shopping, so all they had to do is show up and tie on aprons.
What do I do now? I moved back to San Francisco and now I'm an associate editor in the test kitchen at CHOW.com, cooking and writing all day. I would love to come into your kitchen and show you all the delicious things you can produce from it! Don't worry if your kitchen or refrigerator is bare - I bring all ingredients and any equipment you don't have. In the words of the great Julia Child, "Isn't cooking together fun?"
E-mail me if you're interested, I would love to hear from you! (Please note, classes can only be held in the SF Bay Area unless you can cover travel costs.)
Bon Appétit!
