This private 1:1 class is great for Jr Chefs with any level of cooking experience. Since listing this class I’ve helped students make French Macarons(see video), French Crepes(see review), French Steak and Frites, Birthday Cakes, Special Family Dinners etc. One Junior Masterchef in training for Gordon Ramseys famous show, took my classes for practice and to challenge themselves. During our private session, Jr Chefs will be able to explore new recipes that they've always wanted to create. They will also be able to learn new skills and techniques. If you've ever seen a dish in a cookbook or on the cover of a magazine and you've always wanted to make it...maybe you've longed to make over the top cupcakes or donuts you gazed at through the window of your favorite bakery. Is there a family recipe that you would like to recreate on your own but with a little help? Would you like to make a special meal or dessert to present? If you are unsure, but just know that you want to try something new--something different, than this 1:1 session is for you. After booking this experience, we will have a consultation and discuss what you would like to make and start to plan your meal/dessert/dish etc...this time will be figured into the total time for your session if needed. Because of the custom nature of this class, I recommend booking well in advance-- at least 2-3 days ahead of class to have time to plan, prepare and shop for what's needed. If needed, some preparation may need to be done before class or some finishing touches may have to be done after class. If the nature of the recipe that you want to make takes longer then class time, and you would prefer to do all prep and finishing with me.. we can extend our class time. We will work through your chosen recipe together. I will not only serve as your culinary guide, I will also provide you with tips and timesavers that I've learned from my formal cooking experiences in programs such as Le Cordon Bleu, James Beard cooking events, a degree in food and nutrition sciences and years of cooking in the kitchen with my Grandmother and other women in my family. In addition to in person experiences, I've networked and cooked/baked along with a recent MasterChef Winner and another top 5 pick (prepared our Thanksgiving meal together virtually), Queen of Macarons, Food Network Cupcake Wars Winner and judge for Sugar Rush, and a celebrity private chef from LA amongst others. My meals have been featured by Sur La Table, Ruffino, Kittch and more. I LOVE sharing tips I've learned during our experience. I can't wait for you to enroll so that we can brainstorm. Even more so--I can't wait to meet you in the kitchen. Don’t worry about having previous cooking experience. Bring your open mind and willingness to learn. If there is a date and time that you don't see listed, please send a message or request. Pictured: My Lump Crab Benedict —yum!

Parental Guidance
Because of the nature of cooking and baking classes where stoves, ovens, appliances, knives and other tools are used, I ask that all video remain open for me to see for safety and for me to be able to support you. Doing so is important to prevent cuts, burns etc that may occur during cooking. After checking in, your camera can be aimed at your counter or prep area for the remainder of class. Also, being able to openly talk and converse is extremely important and will keep your hands safely free to chop, dice, knead etc AND there's less risk for germs to come in contact with food from hands that have touched devices.
Equipment and ingredients needed to complete a recipe is dependent on the recipe selected by the learner and should be reviewed for safety.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello my name is Chef. Lisa. I am the instructor for this class. I taught baking classes for the department of recreation for my city to children with ages ranging from 5-15. Over the last almost 30 years I have taught cooking, baking and nutrition education to ages ranging from 2-92 years old, privately and in group settings; in person and virtually. My love for baking and cooking started out as a child in the kitchen with my Grandmother. I obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in food and nutrition science and minored in child development. I am currently working on a Masters in Nutrition in Marketing. Besides a formal education, I’ve also taken a series of culinary classes at the former Le Cordon Bleu-Boston, and many others. Mastering everything from French macarons, to Julia Childs Beef Bourguignon to tamales made from scratch are some of my biggest accomplishments in the kitchen. I own and cook from an ever growing library of cookbooks. Everything that I’ve learned along the way, I’ve shared with others as a food blogger, foodpreneur, educator, recipe writer and more.
My style as an educator is to use evidence-based teaching and learning skills and make education fun and interactive along the way. My ultimate goal for each class, is to share my passion and enthusiasm and help learners build their confidence and knowledge base of not just cooking or baking, but the importance of respecting food and food science’s place in the kitchen as well as how we function as humans beings.
I love to cook, bake, travel and do anything else that involves spending quality time with family and friends. I am known for throwing great dinner parties. Food brings people together in kitchens and tables across the world. So many discussions happen here, from simple to complex. I've traveled with family all over Europe and the Caribbean and have so many more to explore. I am a wife and Mom of 1. Our Daughter is 27 years old and currently in Medical School to become a Forensic Pathologist. I’m very proud of my family, my life’s work and seeing the transformation of my students from the beginning of each class or session to the end. Reviews
