PRIVATE COOKING CLASSES FOR GROUPS of 2-6 STUDENTS

Cooking is a skill that you can learn. Cooking is fun…..

It can be a way to create memories with your family…
A way to treat your friends and family to a delicious meal you’ve prepared yourself…
A home-cooked meal can honor a special event: a birthday, a holiday, an anniversary…
Cooking can be a satisfying way for you to relax for an hour… or an afternoon…

Here’s a typical class schedule (10am – 3pm)

10:00am Students arrive, settle in with a cup of coffee, and put on their new Armand’s Kitchen aprons.

Give yourself the gift of learning how to cook some of your favorite dishes, or some of mine!

I teach beginners and professionals: those who think the kitchen is a place to store take-out — and those with substantial experience, looking to learn some advanced techniques. We design classes around your interests and your level (or lack!) of expertise. Just a few of the classes we’ve enjoyed:

soups — from light and airy summer soups, to hearty winter ones.
breads — baguettes…cheese breads…healthful whole grain loaves…even pizza dough!
regional cuisine — New England fare to treats from America’s Southwest.
classical french cuisine — look out, Julia Child!
special fall classes — canning and pickling fruits and vegetables
Middle Eastern foods; Northern and Southern Italian — perfect for dinner parties.

Want to start with macaroni and cheese, or meatloaf or omelettes?

You’re the boss! You name it, I’ll teach you how to prepare it!
