Tasting Seminars

This is a live, hands-on cooking class held online via Zoom. Class is limited to 12 students to create an interactive, dynamic experience. The Instructor will be assisted by a remote 18 Reasons staffer who will facilitate conversation during class and ensure all students are attended to. We will be recording the class and we hope to make the recording available to students after an editing process to protect the privacy of our students’ homes.

Whatever version your week has become, Friday marks the end of the standard week of work. Come celebrate the beginning of the weekend with Chef Mike of 18 Reasons! 

Have a Beer with Chef Mike is an hour-long chat—a chance for you to ask a chef with decades of experience in the food industry any food question you have. For example:
