Demonstration at Park Silly Market on August 22

I'll be demonstrating a 10 minute risotto recipe made in a pressure cooker.  The recipe can be found in the menu section of the website.  It is easy and a great way to cut the time for making risotto.  Please stop by and see me at the market.  Or if you can't do try the recipe.  It is very good...and versatile too.

Summer Kids Programs Announced

Once again I'll be conducting kids cooking camps this summer.  These classes are so much fun for me and the kids love them too.  We'll be starting the weekly classes on June 7th and they will continue until August 19th.  The classes are Monday thru Thursday.  For kids 7 years old to teens the classes will be from 10 am to 1 pm.  For the 5 and 6 year olds the classes will be 2:30 to 4 pm.  The cost is $135 per week.  Sign up for one week or the whole summer.
Then on Friday afternoons I'll be holding the Teens Pastry Arts classes.  The techniques and recipes the teens learn will amaze everyone...and families will certainly reap the rewards of these classes!  The classes start on Friday June 11, and are held from 11 am to 4 pm.  The cost is $35 per class. 
I have so many students who return to these classes to learn more.  The highlight of my summer is working with the kids.  I'll get some pictures of the kids working and post them as soon as the camps begin.

Check out Community Education Classes

I'm excited to once again teach adult classes at Park CIty High School in the evening this winter.
 
It all starts with "The Art of Cake Decorating". A three night class that covers baking cakes at high altitude, intro to piping techniques, and making fillings. This class is on February 9, 10, and 11th.
 
On February 22 I will teach "Sumptious Spain" After spending some time in Spain this summer I decided it was time to teach how to cook some of the traditional foods.
 
Then on March 18th I'll have a parent/child class making Easter candy.
 
And finally on March 24 I'll teach the "5 Classical Mother Sauces." Once you learn these you'll be able to create many other sauces...impress your friends and family too!

Exciting week ahead

Wow, I can tell the holidays are quickly approaching because people are getting into the kitchen. On Monday night I have an exciting class called "Taming the Holidays". So often people get stressed about the holidays and what to cook. This class will give you some great recipe ideas and help you de-stress the holiday cooking so you can enjoy.
 
Then on Tuesday morning I'll be making an appearance on "Good Things Utah" where I'll be demonstrating 2 unique chocolate recipes that I'll be using at the Utah Chocolate Show on Friday night, November 20th (http://utahchocolateshow.com/.
 
Tuesday and Wednesday nights I'll be teaching High Altitude Baking for the adult education program at Park City High School....
 
Friday I've got my regular Teens class...hmm, I wonder what exciting recipes we'll make this week. Then Friday night demonstrating at the chocolate show and finally on Saturday I'm teaching a class at the show..."Over the Top Dipped Apples" I enjoy being busy teaching about cooking and baking.
