Started the program wanting to improve family dinners. The knife skills and sauce techniques I learned helped me feel more confident in the kitchen. By month four, friends were asking me to cater their small events.

Our training starts with real ingredients and working kitchens. You'll learn knife techniques by preparing actual dishes, understand flavor balance through tasting sessions, and build muscle memory through repetitive practice under guidance.
Each week focuses on specific skill areas — from basic knife work to complex sauce preparation. Students work in small groups, allowing for individual attention while learning collaborative kitchen dynamics.
