Cooking with JoAnna M.

Chef JoAnna is a classically-trained chef who specializes in private cooking classes and corporate team building events. With Chef JoAnna: YOU choose the lesson, YOU choose the day, you make ALL the recipes, with personalized, individual instruction. Like the renown Julia Child, JoAnna first attended culinary school in her early 30's, and started cooking professionally soon after. While attending culinary school in Santa Monica, CA, she earned a 4.0 GPA as well as certifications in Nutrition, Cost Control, Culinary Management and Safety & Sanitation. Chef JoAnna has appeared on several television programs. She was featured in a segment on "BBQ with Bobby Flay" on Food TV, and has also appeared as a guest chef on several reality TV shows, including Kathy Griffin's "My Life on the D-List", MTV's "Next" and on "Survival of the Richest". In-person classes include lesson planning, local travel, recipe booklets, time spent grocery shopping*, advance preparation, 4 hours of hands-on instruction, use of any specialized equipment, and clean-up. All participants can borrow my toques & aprons. It does not include disposables, beverages or optional gratuity. *The cost of groceries is additional and varies depending on what you prefer. For example, if you request organic foods, gluten-free bread/pastry, or vegan “dairy” products, that will increase costs. I typically shop at Sprouts, Publix or Kroger, and would be happy to go to Whole Foods or another specialty market upon request. Groceries can be reimbursed on the date of the lesson.
