Cooking Lessons

There are many kinds of food professionals, from chefs to cookbook authors and teachers to television personalities. What binds them all is a love of food and the willingness to share information and ideas. Chef John Deatcher, with his 22 years industry experience and classical training from the Culinary Institute of America, has a lot to share.

From basic cooking techniques and knife skills to preparing gourmet cuisine to impress. Chef John can accommodate your needs.

"Foodini's Tips" gives you an opportunity to have fun, while being educated and getting inspired to prepare new things.

Prepare fresh pasta and polenta. Learn about different grains such as couscous and quinoa. Have you ever made your own fresh stocks? Foodini can show you the proper way to extract full flavor into your broth for soups, stews, and sauces. There are no schools in existence which will give you one on one professional training. Lessons can be held at Foodini's commissary OR right in your own home ! It's always relaxed and fun.

Chef John offers one-on-one, interactive cooking lessons, Demo-style cooking classes and combination cooking classes/dinner parties where you will prepare the meal together as a group, then the Chef serves you at the table answering any of your culinary questions.

You become the host of your own private cooking class. Invite your friends and crack open the wine. It's a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday, engagement or girls night out.

For office managers, gather your crew and come on over to Foodini's. It's a perfect way to show your staff appreciation and for corporate team building.
