About:
Join us in this six-week program as we demonstrate straightforward cookery! Hosted by Executive Chef Andrew Schmidt, this weekly program is designed to teach students how to make quick, convenient, and delicious gastronomic meals. This series aims to target professional workers who still wish to make a tasty dinner at the end of their workday, parents who wish to improve their weekly dining catalog, or simply anyone who wishes to learn new dishes that are agreeable to both their schedule, work-load, and palate! No prior experience necessary to register – all skill-levels are welcome!
Each week follows the same structure. Students will listen to the chef instructor’s lecture and watch his demonstration over the weekly topics before heading into the kitchen to make the respective dishes themselves. In teams of four, kitchen groups will be responsible for each week’s protein, starch, and vegetable-cookery. Once the food is prepared and plated, everyone gets to enjoy a family-style meal of what they’ve just made with a complimentary glass of wine.
Cost:
The Simple Meals Series is $600.00 for all six weeks of classes. Students may not sign up for individual classes. No chef jacket fee is added for this program.

The Practical Series is Classic Cooking Academy’s flagship program. Spanning 24 weeks, this series will educate you around the logistics of the kitchen one step at a time.

By the end of the course, students will have a full understanding of nearly every facet of cooking. Don’t be hesitant if you think you’re not up to the task – this class is open for any and all skill levels.

About:
Our most popular stand-alone cooking class, this is Classic Cooking Academy’s bread and butter. Guests come in, find a seat, have a drink, and meet the chefs who go over each item on the menu. After our staff covers what each table will be cooking, guests split up among the tables to prepare one dish of their choosing. At the end, our chefs take over the kitchen, while guests return to the dining room and are served a delectable three-course dinner complete with an appetizer, entrée, and dessert.
Each Gourmet Class includes complimentary wine, beer, and soft drinks. Alcoholic beverages will be available until dessert is served.
