Also, include dates and times you are available and whether you want an in-person lesson or online, and we will schedule accordingly. Once received, I will put together a meal plan to prepare with you. It will include a list of ingredients and where to find them. It is generally best to do your shopping for this meal the day of to ensure the ingredients are fresh, but I understand weekly shopping lists and having ingredients on hand. Eating Comes in Stages: Scent, Visual, Taste all are Equally Important ○ Step One: Eating and Enjoying with your nose Food Preparation & Cooking: protein, starch, vegetable and bread, most recipes will include a sauce or gravy recipe. ○ Step Two: Eating with your eyes Plating and presentation: Learn to plate your meal so it looks as scrumptious as it smells. And don't worry, it will never be one of those two-bite meals unless you request it. ○ Step Three: Eating with your taste buds. You worked hard to shop, prepare, cook and plate your meal and now you can reap the benefits of your labor. Although, if you're anything like I am, you are just about full from tasting your dishes as you prepare them. ○ Food Handling & Storage Safety: I know this one seems like it should be common sense, but most are surprised when they hear about the risks of improper food storage. ___________________________________ Romantic & Fun Couples Cooking Therapy: $125 It can be said that date night fosters an open and lasting relationship with your partner. Whether you're married with little ones or still dating, it gives you both a chance to communicate away from the stresses of daily life. Now toss in a little romantic music and some cooking that's when things get hot. Remember the pottery scene in Ghost? This is even better. Toss in your favorite wine and a meal neither one of you have attempted to make and the simple act of working together will bring a sensuality you both had no idea you needed. Meal Plan: Appetizer Main Dish with Sides Dessert ○ Food Preparation & Cooking: as a team, some tasks you will work independently, and others you'll have to work together or at least you'll prefer to. ○ Plating and Presentation: Same as above ○ Food Handling & Storage Safety ___________________________________ Couples with Friends Cooking with Friends: $100 (per/couple) This includes everything from the Couple's lesson at a reduced cost for more people. ___________________________________ Wine & Dine Girls' Night: Sips & Nipples: $50 (per/person, min 4 people) ○ Sips, whether you drink alcohol or not, you will learn how to make a mixed drink that will make your bartender jealous. ○ Nibbles, don't worry ladies, I will come with some nibbles prepared so you can get your drink on. Then teach you to make two on your own. ☆ Add-On $15 (per/person min 4): Dinner, you have decided sips and nibbles aren't enough, let's make dinner. ☆ Add-On $7 (per/person min 4): Dessert.

Are they stuck on their device, playing Minecraft and spouting nonsense about the notorious Chicken Jockey the jockey zombie and skibbidi WHAT!? Let's get the family together for a family-friendly cooking class that will help you and your family come together and make lasting memories. ○ Ingredient shopping: this is an important step for kids to be included. It will teach them how to budget for their meals and decide whether the name brands are as important as the store brand items. (I recommend pregame research on supplies and giving them a budget and a grocery list.) ○ Food Handling & Safety instructions before beginning to make children aware of what is dangerous in the kitchen and what the rules are for knives and even storage of food once it is cooked. ○ Rules determined before scheduled class to be agreed upon by instructor and parents, ultimately the parents have the final say; however, instructor will cancel at their discretion if they feel the children's safety is at risk. ○ Food Preparation & Cooking: Parents and children will work together to prepare an easily cooked meal. Some will be homemade. *Mac & Cheese *Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup *Peanut Butter & Jelly/Banana/Honey Panini with Veggie Sticks *Homemade orange juice, lemonade or flavored water ☆ Each lesson will come with a cookie lesson at the beginning to have later ☆Add-On: Princess Tea Party $12 (per/person) Make it magical for your fairy princess, make tea traditional style tea sandwiches and tea. Dress up is highly encouraged. ☆Add-On: Cooking in Cosplay $12 (per/person) Encouraged for your older kiddos (recipes can be more complex for older children). Parents are encouraged to dress in cosplay or theme too as it adds a special touch to the memory. ☆Add-On for Cosplay and older children only $20 (per/person): If you have a cosplay kiddo, you know they love MANGA and you know they love Japanese anime, probably Demon Slayer or One Piece and I bet they have tried to make their ramen special, more special than the seasoning packets provided. With this Add-On, I will teach them to make 98% homemade Japanese style ramen with a drunken egg (alcohol cooks off when ramen broth is poured over it while steaming hot) this meal is a two-day lesson. You will also learn to make edamame and your choice of egg rolls or gyoza to complete your meal. For adults only, I will show you how to serve sake with appropriate pairings. ☆ Add-On: Genuine Japanese Chocolate delivered from Japan: $80. This Add-On must be scheduled and paid for one month before lesson due to shipping and delivery costs and timing. ___________________________________ Weekly Class: $50 One Night Per Week (one month min: $200) Weekly classes will include a new meal plan each week.
