Private Cooking Classes
With over sixteen years of experience, I can teach you almost anything you want to know in the relaxed environment of your own home. Some of my favorite subjects are: Italian, North African, Indian, Thai and Japanese cooking, as well as fundamentals like knife skills, pastry making, bread baking, canning, soups and stocks. If you are interested in a private class, fill out your contact information, along with some ideas of what you want to learn as well as dates.

Market Tours
Take an ethnic or farmer’s market tour to Denver’s best establishments. I supply pantry lists and some simple recipes to get you started in any of the following cuisines: Mexican, Indian, Greek, North African, Japanese, Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese. Learn how to pick the best produce and when fresh ingredients are in season. If you are interested in a market tour, fill out your contact information along with the type of market you wish to visit and dates.

Kitchen Organizing
Are you overwhelmed with all of the food filling your shelves that you never use? Did you buy some dried shrimp ten years ago and still have it in your pantry just in case? Hire me to help you organize your pantry to make cooking easier, faster, and more fun. I will also help you develop recipes to fit your needs, as well as shopping lists and weekly menus. Fill out your contact information if you are interested in this service.
