Update on Upcoming Cooking Classes.

Here is a quick update that will soon be available on my "Cooking Classes" page. I have SO enjoyed working with The Cook's Warehouse! What an incredible opportunity and such great people to work with! But, alas; all good things eventually come to an end. On a good note, though!

Due to demand, I am no longer teaching at The Cook's Warehouse. I have received so many requests for private in-home cooking classes that my calendar is already starting to fill up for the next three months! So, here are the details and I encourage you to contact me as soon as possible to book your own in-home cooking class! It's more convenient, more affordable and you get to learn with all of your best friends! What could be better than that?!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am moving from The Cook's Warehouse to provide a more convenient, more affordable and more flexible class environment for my students!! Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn some delicious, easy and affordable meals that will impress even the most discriminating foodie!

Or, if you just feel like having a dinner party with 5-15 great friends and having their helping hands! Are you a single, young man that is looking to impress your lady? Get all your buddies together and let me teach you how to impress that special someone!

FAQ's

"What's on the menu?"

If you have an idea for what you'd like to learn, let Angela know your thoughts and together you will find the perfect menu that will have all of your friends looking forward to the next class/dinner party! If you can think of it, she can teach it!

On the other hand, if you have NO idea what you'd like to learn, Angela has hundreds and hundreds of menus that she can suggest!

"Is my kitchen big enough?"

As long as you can put a cutting board down (in the kitchen or on the dining room table) as many times as there are students, you can comfortably learn to cook in your home kitchen. What could be better than learning how to make your favorite meal in the comfort of your own home?!

"I'm just learning to cook. What if I don't have the right cookware or utensils?"

No problem! Angela will discuss with you at length what is needed for your customized menu and if you are lacking in any way, she is happy to bring her own supplies! All students are supplied with recipes and tips for how to create the perfect meal without a single snafu! You will easily be able to recreate her meals again and again!

"What about my children? I'd like to instill in them the joy of cooking, but in a fun and interactive way with their friends!"

Children ages 3 and up are perfect candidates!

A cooking party for the young food lover is the perfect way to celebrate a birthday, graduation or just reward them for good grades! Not only does a cooking party provide an unbeatable hands-on activity to entertain the kids, but the event culminates in a fully prepared meal (including dessert) for them all to enjoy. Even fussy eaters will be thrilled to eat something they have made with their own hands. Seeing a meal come to fruition through their own efforts is always a great self-esteem builder. It's a very rewarding experience for parents and Angela, alike!

Being that Angela was taught how to cook from a very young age; she is very passionate about instilling this art within the hearts and souls of children and teenagers, alike. She is fun, upbeat and there will never be a dull moment in your kitchen! They will love it!

The star of the party will receive a personalized chef's hat and their own apron (or chef's coat – specify your preference)!

Due to television appearances and other exciting projects going on behind the scenes, at least 30 days notice is required to book a cooking class party.

(Includes all food and taxes, but not wine)

Angela limits her classes to 15 students because she likes to be sure everyone is able to learn and ask questions without being rushed for time. All classes are hands on, unless you request a demonstration class instead.
