Now, more than ever before, we all lead very busy, lives. The pressures of the job, family, and world events combine to make our days stressful and we have so many things we want to do yet so little time to accomplish them. It can be a frustrating, daunting task just to have some fun.

• Imagine you and your friends enjoying a fun and entertaining time learning how to prepare fabulous food in the comfort of your home with your very own Professional Chef.
• Imagine learning how to unleash your gourmet desires by learning about different and exciting cuisines such as Asian, Italian, Mexican, Thai, Southwest, Spanish and the list goes on.
• Imagine having a Professional Chef like Rachael Ray from the Food Network sharing with you and your friends a few favorite recipes with some personal hands-on instruction.

Welcome to a Culinary Experience…
where the art of cooking is brought to life!

If you’re looking for a new, fresh approach to entertaining your friends and family, a great alternative for a child’s birthday party or even a special gift for the “food lover” in your life, Culinary Inspirations has the solution!

The heart and soul of great food lies in the passion and skill of the preparer. Whether it’s an Interactive Dinner Party or a private In-Home Cooking Class, you and your guests can learn, participate, enjoy or just watch as a Professional Chef Linda becomes your personal guide to a whole new world of exciting and fun culinary adventures.

  The Professional Chef             

Your Chef will provide professional instruction including “tricks of the trade” insights, special techniques, and lots of food trivia, all contributing to the thoroughly entertaining atmosphere. Don’t forget the gourmet food. Your chef also handles all of the grocery shopping and equipment requirements, so you can enjoy your Culinary Inspirations experience along with your guests.

 Interactive Dinner Parties

A Culinary Inspirations Interactive Dinner Party is a chance for you to treat your friends to a culinary adventure - a complete gourmet meal, where they actually participate in the preparation! Imagine having a chef like Emeril Lagasse over for dinner? Well a Culinary Inspirations Instructor is just as entertaining and definitely more affordable.

 Your Chef instructor will work with you to develop a complete menu based on the food preferences for you and your guests. Your Chef will also act as a mentor to your guests, teaching them techniques, trivia, and “tricks of the trade”.

An Interactive Dinner Party is a unique and affordable alternative to the common dinner party, and a great way to celebrate those special occasions.

Cooking Classes

A Culinary Inspirations Cooking Class is a
fun and entertaining method of exploring
the world of cooking.

The Coordinator

As the coordinator (host/hostess) of the Culinary Inspirations experience, you receive all the tools necessary to host an engaging, educational, and entertaining experience. We provide you with Invitation Postcards to send to your invited guests, Gift Certificate Invitations, Coordinator Guest List (to track your invites), Coordinator Guidelines and Policies, and a Count Down Planner (giving you a timeline of events leading up to the party.) Your Chef Instructor will work closely with you to ensure a successful, enjoyable event.

Each guest will receive high quality, full color recipe that include all the information they need to recreate the featured recipes in their own kitchens. The cards list the pantry ingredients, fresh groceries, and utensils needed to prepare the selected recipes. Where appropriate, there are “do ahead tips”, recipe variations, and “light versions”. There is also a full color photo of the finished dish, plated in professional style.

Classes

Classes vary in size and curriculum based on your kitchen’s capability to facilitate the group. There is a suggested class size of six to twelve students, which provides the “critical mass” needed to enable an entertaining atmosphere, while ensuring that everyone gets to participate.

Too few students, and the level of excitement can wane. Too many, and students may feel they are not part of the class. At Culinary Inspirations, we try to get everyone involved.

Classes can be strictly demonstration, or fully interactive, depending on kitchen layout, your vision for the group, and their willingness to participate. Choose from a wide variety of available curriculum covering all types of cuisine including:

Note: Culinary Inspiration is not a Private one on one class it is designed to be a party. Private classes are $75/hour for a one on one personal cooking class with Chef Linda.

Note menus can change at anytime.
