Cooking Class Overview:
CAMAJE Cooking Classes are unique.
They are taught in a working restaurant
kitchen by a professional chef. Class starts
in the dining room, where you meet the
chef and discuss the menu to prepare it.
You don aprons and, under the chef’s
watchful eye and with her help, you prepare the ingredients. Prep finished, time to move
to the kitchen. (Remember: You are in a
working restaurant kitchen-if there’s a rush,
you’ll be asked to stand back! Students tell
us this is exciting & instructive!).
Finished cooking, you gather around a table
in the dining room for wine & tasty dishes
cooked by you. Relax with the chef & chat
with your classmates. Bon appetit!
Menus and/or dates for all classes subject to changes based on availability
Private
Classes & Tastings:
CAMAJE also offers private, custom cooking &
wine tasting classes, tailored to your needs
and interests. Private cooking classes or team-building events can be arranged for
groups of one to 20. Wine tastings and
demonstration-style classes can accommodate
up to 30. Please call or email us for more information.
