Let’s cook together at home!

I teach highly interactive virtual cooking classes for cooks of all levels. Touching on the art and science of success in the kitchen, I help people come away from class with increased confidence and improved intuition when it comes to executing any recipe. The food is delicious too!

What makes my classes special?

 

Engaging

Whether you’re a company seeking team building or a group of friends looking for quality time, my virtual classes are fun and entertaining — a great alternative to the tired Zoom cocktail hour. I love to share personal anecdotes which not only amuse but also help people remember my tips and tricks.

Enriching

I place just as much attention on technique and science as I do on taste and creativity. I provides helpful pointers to spice up your cooking game, taking your food from simple to special. Cooks of all levels will leave class having learned something new to apply going forward.

Adaptable

My recipes are flexible, with substitutions to accommodate almost all dietary restrictions. I offer tried and true set menus that work like a dream, and I can also design custom menus to your specifications. I work within your time constraints, and I can scale my approach for any size group, from individuals to dozens.

What’s the food like?

Funny you asked…

What do past students say?

“Working with Chloe was an absolute delight! As the Director of an arts non-profit, this past year has been an exercise in creative thinking. When it came time for our Fall fundraiser, we approached Chloe hoping we might be able to develop a fun online program. Chloe went above and beyond, developing a modular three course menu inspired by our artistic programming that was so delicious.

Always attentive to detail and enormously gracious adjusting and advising on all the many needs on our end for our multi-part evening of remote programming and fundraising, Chloe’s class was the centerpiece of our event—an enormous success, as we tripled the amount we raised from the prior year! Our audience of all cooking levels—from the mildly averse, to the seasoned home cooks—raved not only about the delicious menu Chloe proffered, but also of her clear, incisive and inclusive direction in the kitchen. Without question we recommend Chloe and her excellent instruction for any team building or fundraising event, or simply with family or friends for the joy and pleasure it will bring. Thank you thank you thank you!!

 “Chloe organized a wonderful virtual cooking class for a company event. She personally designed the menu to meet both our budget and wide range of dietary restrictions. Due to the virtual nature of the class, she did an outstanding job of communicating what ingredients and tools were needed for the class and even sent pictures of what our set up should look like. The class learned cooking tricks and fun facts from her professional instruction and experience. The meal she selected for our group was both challenging and fun for experienced or beginner chefs. She was able to keep the group engaged on Zoom and answered questions throughout the class using Zoom chat. Overall, it was a really successful event! The class concluded with showing our final dishes and eating together. Chloe sent all participants the recipe the next day, which was a nice touch. We would definitely cook with Chloe again!

— Keri, Talent Acquisition Manager, BCG

“Chloe conducted a virtual cooking class for our team to help raise spirits during the tough times of the pandemic. Her class was fun, interactive, and great for people of all levels. Even the adept cooks who participate in our monthly Top Chef style cooking competitions came away having learned something new, and everyone got some new delicious recipes under their belt. Chloe was personally available to our entire team to answer any and all questions in advance, and she promptly followed up to share not just the recipes in detail, but also a summary of the impromptu pointers she shared throughout the class. We would love to work with Chloe again."
