Meet Your
Instructor
I'm Chef Amanda and I love teaching people how to cook. Cooperate team builds are best because each team member brings a different skillset into the kitchen and I get to unlock each teammate's culinary confidence so they can share it with their team. You never know who will be the most skilled in cooking each dish. It usually surprises the team -- I love that!

Teams that aren't a good fit
How it works
For in-person classes, just show up at the start time ready to cook!
​
For virtual classes, Chef Amanda will send you a grocery list along with the set of recipes for the class. If you're in Austin, for an additional fee you can pick up all the groceries you'll need on the day of the class. Have all your groceries ready and recipes printed (if you prefer paper), then join the Zoom call from your home kitchen at the start time.
