Why You’ll Love This Class
First-timers and seasoned home cooks alike will find plenty to love, and we handle every tool and ingredient for you. You won’t just watch, either. You’ll be slicing, stuffing, and crimping right alongside Chef Pierre. He brings over 30 years of experience as a head chef, pastry chef, caterer, and coach, with stops in New York, Miami, Santa Fe, Puerto Rico, Amsterdam, and Mexico, all grounded in traditional French training.

When the cooking’s done, you’ll sit down together to savor your meal, then head out with every recipe in hand.
