Now you can take professional cooking classes right in Chef Bob's kitchen.  All Classes are only $75 per person (except wine appreciation), including the cost of food.  All classes include a course syllabus (workbook) that you keep and they last about 3 hours.  Classes should have no more than four people as we will be covering a lot of material, techniques and cooking demonstration.

Sauces Class  -  This class will teach you the basic "Mother Sauces" from which all other sauces are derived.  For instance, a Béarnaise sauce is made from first creating a Hollandaise Sauce.  We'll make stock, use the stock in sauces and more!  This is the first class most students take since it covers such a wide area.

Pizza Class -  We'll make our own dough, then show you some shortcuts to make it easier and tastier.  We'll go through some of the tricks and tips that make great, crusty pizzas possible in your own oven at a SMALL fraction of what you'd pay down the street!

Sauté Class -   This class will teach you how to cook quick, easy dishes and create pan sauces at the end of the cooking, just the way French Chefs have been making them for centuries.  Your family will appreciate the world-class flavors and you'll quickly see how easy it is to turn out great food.

Barbeque Class - Learn the difference between Barbeque and Grilling (they're very different) and how to turn out Barbeque that's every bit as good as the commercial stuff.  We'll even make up some wonderful BBQ sauces and rubs to guarantee great taste!  Note, this class starts with three days of preparation before the actual class in brining, rubs and preparation methods.

Grilling Class - Learn how to grill without burning your food.  Learn how to tell when food is completely cooked.  Learn how (and when) to properly apply BBQ sauces, marinades and rubs.  You'll get tips you need for perfect results.  Stop burning your steaks and chops!

Baking & Pastry Class - Do your cakes come out looking funny?  Do your cookies look like you could slide them under a door?  There is nothing funny about spending all that time and effort to settle for inferior results.  You'll bake some cakes, make frosting and learn the tricks of the trade from a professional!  You can design the content of this class to "fill in the blanks" of your existing knowledge.

Oriental Stir-Fry Class - Healthy, low-fat options are everywhere when you know how to Stir-Fry.  This is the healthy way to increase your intake of fruits and vegetables while having delicious Oriental food. Learn how to make last-minute sauces and which ingredients to add to your stir-fry (and when!).

Fruit Carving Class - We'll carve fruits and vegetables to use as centerpieces and for buffet garnishes.  If watermelon is in season, we can even go exotic with some easy Oriental artwork and functional designs.  You'll learn many easy garnishing techniques to make your dishes beautiful as well as enticing.  Other cooks and Chefs have taken this class from me for years.  NOW, you can too!
