Frequently Asked Questions:

 

  • How does it work?

We start with a free phone consultation during which I ask you a few basic questions to help me get acquainted with your food preferences, cooking experience, kitchen specifications, and the like.  After that, I contact you with a suggested menu and if the menu suits your preference, I will send you a corresponding grocery list. We schedule a time slot and take it from there.

  • Can you do the groceries?
One of my goals is to empower you as a conscious consumer, so I do offer a grocery store tour in which I introduce you to pantry essentials as well as help you to choose items for specific recipes
  • How much does it cost?
Prices are competitive and are based on your location within New York City, Jersey City or Long Island, N.Y.   Please contact me for more details.
  • Will I get the recipes?
Yes, I provide you with a hard copy of all recipes at the end of class.  However, with continuing support, one of my goals is to empower you to be less dependent on recipes by teaching you technique and by mastering technique, you will be able to create almost anything in your kitchen.
  • Are dishes limited to what you see on this site?
No, absolutely not! I started compiling my original recipes on this site January 2012 so the list of recipes is still growing.  The possibilities are endless and are customized to your individual liking.
  • Do you accomodate dietary restrictions?
Yes, I will ask you about any such restrictions during our initial phone consultation and take this into account for your individualized menu planning.
  • Can I invite friends or family members?
Absolutely, the more the merrier!  Since there is a flat fee for each additional member, the classes become more cost-effective as the number of participants increase.
  • Do I need a huge kitchen or fancy equipment?
As long as you have enough space in your kitchen and/or dining area to place as many cutting boards as there are class participants, you are good to go.  As far as kitchen equipment and tools go, I’ll make suggestions as to what you’ll need when I create your custom menu.  However, if you are not able to purchase the items soon enough, I’ll provide you with viable alternatives.
  • What are your qualifications?

I hope the recipes on this site speak for themselves.  All my recipes are 100% original and are not taken from any other source.  Whole-foods based cooking is my passion and over the years I’ve become well-versed in many types of regional cuisine.  Also, I’m a former teacher with an Ivy-League undergraduate and graduate background so I’m well-experienced in the art and science of teaching and learning. And if you get to know me, you’ll learn that I’m quite fastidious and conscientious, (perhaps to a fault :P ).
