Shane, we had such a joyful evening with you! Thank you for thoughtfully preparing a perfect menu for us—we both agreed it pushed us to try new things but feels like something we will absolutely be able to replicate now that you have walked us through it! You have a natural talent for helping people feel comfortable in the kitchen. We really appreciated all of the extra tips and tricks you shared with us as well.

Let’s Get Cooking!
Of all the culinary activities in my life, teaching cooking classes brings me the most joy. Have you seen an ingredient, dish, cuisine, or technique recently that made you think, “I’d like to learn more about that”? I create customized cooking classes for curious eaters of all skill levels.
If you’d like to kickstart your culinary life with a fun and informative class (or just want to learn more), contact me using the form below or email me at ShaneWH4@gmail.com to schedule a quick pre-class phone call where I get to know the food/cooking interests, tastes, and dietary preferences of the participants. From there, I begin crafting a menu that’s specially tailored to you. With your approval of the menu, we schedule a date for the class and I create a personalized handout with recipes, descriptions, fun facts, and a shopping list, which can be used as a reference for years to come.
Shane, Friday night was outstanding. I absolutely loved learning the three new recipes as well as new techniques for some everyday culinary skills! A couple that stand out include how to cut a pepper and how to sharpen a knife using a honing steel. It was also really fun to use ingredients that were completely new to me like shallots, green onions, and tempeh. Your sincere interest in providing the very best experience for us was felt from our first conversation in December when you took such interest in our cooking background and started putting together recipes and ideas for this class. Your care during the class was especially felt in your willingness to frequently pause and answer questions or add context about what we were doing and why.
