Cooking Classes

What exactly is the difference between chopping and mincing?  How do you, and should you ever Flambé anything?  Why can't I stop my Pan Searing before it becomes Pan Scorching?  (and setting off the smoke alarm)  Why do my steaks never turn out like the one's I get in a restaurant?  How do I know if I've cooked my chicken long enough?

....are these questions that you've always wondered about, but never found the answers to?  Do you have other questions about cooking?  Are there things you've always wanted to learn how to make, but never had anyone to show you?

....if so, Passion Plates can help.  I offer IN HOME cooking lessons to help you get to the next level in your culinary craftiness.  Like the cute rat in Ratatouille says....anyone can cook.  You just need to know some of the basics to get you started.  The most brilliant Picasso masterpiece, when broken down, is just a combination of lines, arcs, squares, circles, and Red, Green, and Blue.  If you know the basic components, you can explore and create your own masterpieces!  ANYONE CAN COOK! 

Cooking classes are a flat fee of  $75 plus food cost*,
usually last between 60-90 minutes,
(depending on what we're cooking)
  and all participants will walk away full....guaranteed!

Ladies...get a group of your friends together to split the cost, and I'll teach all of you how to make a Lasagna that will make your mother-in-law HATE you, because your husband will NEVER talk about his mom's lasagna EVER again! ;)

Guys
...get your buddies together and I'll teach you how to make a FAIL SAFE romantic dinner that will get you out of ANY doghouse!  (well, almost any :) )

I can customize my classes to whatever it is you want to learn.  My lessons are very interactive, so you will be a part of the process, not just watching from a distance. 

To schedule a cooking class, email me at:  sean@passionplates.net

*when scheduling a cooking class, we will discuss what you want to learn how to make, create a shopping list based on that and the number of people in your group.  You will do the shopping, or if you like, for an additional $50 fee, I will do the shopping for you.
