Cooking Fundamentals – The Art of Sausage Making

Are you interested in culinary school, but don’t have the time or money? Have you been cooking for years and just want something new and exciting? Are you a novice interested in getting in the kitchen for the first time? Then the Fundamentals classes are the ones for you! These classes are for those who are serious about learning how to cook. We offer 20+ different courses to choose from throughout the year that can be taken in any order (except Knife Skills 2, which must be taken after Knife Skills 1).

As always, we provide you with a relaxing and warm environment for learning and have the best instructors who are passionate about teaching. For those who complete the necessary 20 courses, we will give both a Certificate of Completion in the Culinary Arts as well as a chef jacket embroidered with your name on it. This certificate proves your completion and can be used to gain employment, should you choose to follow a career in food.

Cooking Techniques classes focus on specific cuts of meat or vegetables, teaching the most-used techniques of the classically trained chef. We focus on braising, stewing, poaching, steaming, sweating, frying, pan frying, sautéing/browning, roasting, grilling, and broiling. Each class will focus on proper cooking and food temperatures. Advancing your skills in the final part of our Fundamental class is sausage making! Learn the tricks of trade to grind and make your own sausages and how to cure meats.
