Kitchen Confidence: Three Week Series

This three week series is ideal for the home cook who is truly ready to level up. Students will spend each class building their skills set - starting with knife skills, simple roasting and learning the keys to a well balanced, mouth watering vinaigrette. Week two will focus on pureeing a beautiful seasonal soup, making fresh focaccia, braising, baking and seasoning to perfection. On the third and final night of class, students will learn to cook a steak, bake a flourless chocolate cake, confidently take on deep frying and more! The best thing about this class - you get to cook with the same group of eager, passionate people three weeks in a row and Chef Gracie is more than happy to adapt menus to meet your curiosity and desire. Come hungry and leave with an incredible repertoire of techniques and recipes that will serve you in your quest for a more delicious life!
