Lessons can be tailored to your particular skill level, with all ages and experience levels welcome. I'll have you cooking day one, and by the time we're finished you'll be able to tackle any recipe out there. I look forward to hearing from you!

    About Thomas

    Greetings! My name is Thomas Winchester. I am a Chef with 12 years of experience in the industry, and I have a Bachelors Degree in Culinary Management. I was one of only 2 Students that graduated from this program across 2 years. Students with me will be able to learn knife skills, kitchen safety, cooking techniques, Basics of Culinary (Eggs, Sauces, and other food staples), and Regional Cuisine (American, European, Asian, ect...). I'm personable, easygoing, and enjoy sharing knowledge. Being a Father of 3, I am also able and willing to teach children. I look forward to hearing from you.
