Class Experience

A great flavor is a signature of great cooking skills! Being able to season, adjust and enhance flavor is a skill that takes know how, practice and experience. 

 In this 4 week course, your student will learn how to build flavor in any dish they cook or design themselves. Your student will also practice those skills in class while creating 4 different dishes using 4 flavor profiles. These dishes will be recognizable to your student but showcase main ingredients used in each flavor profile. In this class we use knives. 

I strongly recommend Cook Like A Chef : Knife Skills as a pre-requisite to this class if your student does not have proper knife techniques. Like Building Flavor, being able to use a knife well in the kitchen is a building block for success in the kitchen. This class will not teach knife skills and your student will need knowledge of basic cuts and the language in order to feel confident in class.

The class will be broken up into 2 sections. Approximately the first 30 minutes we will learn in theory, and then we will learn in practice by preparing a dish that heavily depends on exploring these 4 flavor profiles. 

Week 1:  What is a Flavor Profile? General Concepts of Flavor Building. ( Italian Flavor Profile: Pizza Margherita)
Week 2: Classic Flavor Profiles, Seasoning, Flavoring. ( Asian Flavor Profile: Sweet and Sour Chicken)
Week 3: Using Herbs and Spices. ( Mexican Flavor Profile: Shrimp Taco's with Cilantro Lime Slaw)
Week 4: How ingredients define different cuisines. How do you build or create a recipe on the fly. ( Indian Flavor Profile: Curried Chicken)

By the end of this class your student would have learned:
1. How to build flavor into their dish.
2. More knowledge about popular flavor profiles.
3. How Chefs can build or create a recipe on the fly.
5. Tried 4 new recipes using their new skills. 
6. Know the difference between spice and herbs.

This is an interactive class and your student will be cutting and cooking right along with me. I will demonstrate step by step, making sure we move along together through completing the recipe. I will have one camera that is dedicated just to the work station so your student can see exactly what is taking place. Your student will be able to ask questions and meet new friends. 

If your student has any allergies, please contact me and I would be happy to provide you with a recipe with substitutions. This also applies to students that wish to join the class but may need vegetarian friendly substitutions. I have personally followed a vegetarian diet for many years and will be happy to make sure your student feels included.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
This is a cooking class. We will use the stove, oven, knives and other household kitchen items. Parental supervision is recommended. If your student has any allergies, please contact me and I would be happy to provide you with a recipe with substitutions. This also applies to students that wish to join the class but may need vegetarian friendly substitutions.

Supply List
The recipe that will be posted each week will also contain a supply list. The supply list will list everything your student needs to have in place before class starts. For example, gathering ingredients, bowls, baking dishes, measuring cups etc. Usually these items are already in your kitchen. This is called Mise En Place and I would list this on each recipe for class.
