Joynt Venture

After umpteen years of working in both restaurant and hotel kitchens, going to school and getting a Culinary Arts Certificate, a Bachelors Degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management, and just completing an MBA, I have decided to take the bold step.

Launching October 19, is the Cooking Joynt, a cooking school, with classes taught by yours truly, and my partner in crime. It’s time to take our years of experience and pass them on. I love cooking, I love food, and I want to show others how simple and enjoyable it can be to make an incredible meal.

We are going to focus on meals that you can go home and do as soon as class is over. It will be as easy as putting together your grocery list, going to any supermarket for supplies, and following the recipe to re-create what you have learned in class.

Classes will be a blast, some instruction, hands on work, and then we all sit down and eat the results, no matter what they are!  What we are going to do is show you how to make some great dishes, and have fun at the same time.

Dining is many things to many people; it can be a social event, a romantic evening, a day in the backyard with the grill, or a quick and healthy meal on the run.

Classes will cover a variety of menu’s and subjects. We will cover basics such as slicing and dicing, how to flip an egg, to more advanced cookery.  We’re going to cover desserts, appetizers, Holiday dishes, soups and stocks, and many other aspects.
