Celebrating 42 years of teaching

My students have taught me as much as I have taught them since my first class in New York in 1966.   I have enjoyed their enthusiasm and camaraderie as they learn and share in preparing every kind of food.  I hear from many of them, who still use the recipes they have cherished for years.  Here in the hills and valleys of southwestern Wisconsin I continue the same tradition that took me from New York to Chicago to here.  I use locally grown organic foods whenever possible. I joyfully cook the way I learned, close to the seasonal foods I use, with the bonus that here they are mostly organic and locally grown.  My goal is for you to connect to the land through food by cooking with all your senses.

 

Each class covers know how and the many techniques for your everyday cooking. I use recipes as a guide and share different approaches in preparing them.

 

Bon Appetit!
