Cooking Lessons, Demonstrations & Gift Ideas

Learning to cook can be fun and rewarding. La Cucina Laurenti can teach you one-on-one or with a group of friends. With a casual, hands-on approach Chef Sadie will help you feel more comfortable, confident and effective in the kitchen.

Private Lessons will be given in your home in the comfort of your own kitchen with your own tools, so you can adapt your new skills to your own environment.  Chef Sadie can also take the time to shop with you in your local market to show you how to select the freshest and best products according to your likes.

Group Lessons are a great way to acquire new skills, spend time with your friends and enjoy great food. The group lesson will be conducted in one of the students’ homes and will be a combination of demonstration and hands-on activity. Each student will be able to participate, ask questions throughout the entire lesson and sample the group’s creation at the end of the lesson.  All groceries are provided for the lesson. Be prepared to learn and EAT! Group lessons can range from 6 to 8 people. Larger parties will be taught in a “demonstration only” style lesson.

Demonstrations are great for larger parties or for those that are interested in simply watching and sampling the creations.  Some demonstrations can be arranged so some or all of the participants can partake in hands-on activity. There are numerous options and Chef Sadie is happy to meet your specific needs.
