If you are new to this area, we welcome you! A Chef’s Cooking Studio has been offering cooking classes since 2007 in this very location! We have covered everything you can imagine from international themes, baking, kids’ camps, private events, wine clubs and so much more over these last 18 years and it’s been our absolute pleasure to serve this community. In recent years, we have pared down our offerings to three classes as week, and no longer take on kids classes or private events but our passion for sharing cooking and delicious recipes continues!
Our Studio is owned and operated by Chef Andrea and her Husband Michael, and the team includes their amazing Kitchen Manager and Sous Chef Greg Johnson and store manager, Jodi Mathews.
If you have stopped by in the last few months you may have noticed that we were closed for some store redo time. This was in part because Chef Andrea was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in the Summer of 2024 and the whole crew decided a break while she underwent treatment was a good plan so the focus could be on healing, redoing the store and setting up a Brand-New Class calendar for 2025. We are happy to share that Chef Andrea did great in treatment and is on the mend and ready to get back to the cooking life!
Classes will resume December 2024, and our standard schedule of classes three times a week, Wednesday, Friday and Saturdays from 12pm to 3pm will continue in the New Year.
The biggest change in 2025 comes in two forms: One is that our focus going forward is on Home Baking. The other big addition is a Saturday morning guided journaling class offering (see below)
After a full career of cooking every kind of cuisine under the sun, Chef Andrea is ready to slow the pace and fully focus on her passion of home baking. We will cover desserts and yeasted breads like crazy! You will always work hands on with us and take your handiwork home to share.
Cooking from scratch allows us to decide exactly what we put into our bodies. But it lso begins to form a foundation for a more intentional life. Focused on nutrition, time in our homes, working with our hands, creating and savoring. The phones and computers fade away as we embrace the work of kneading, mixing and the incredible scents of home baking.
It is our purpose and goal to bring the joy of from scratch cooking to all of our guests. We are happy you are here.
Our classes are limited to 8 students with two chef’s working in real time with you so the student to chef instructor ratio is perfect for real learning and focused techniques.
Our classes are from 12pm to 3pm and are $125.00 per session – we provide everything you need; you dine on our chef’s handiwork and light lunch (usually a featured soup) and take your handiwork home to share. Help yourself beverages including wines, sparkling and still water is always included.
How To Sign Up and Stay Informed: Signing up for emails on our website (www.achefs.com) is by far the most effective way to stay informed. We post calendars, recipes and updates frequently and this is where you will sign up for any classes as well. (Make sure to add us to your approved contacts so we don’t end up in the dreaded junk folder).
