What You’ll Learn in a Hands-On Cooking Class with Chef Ted

These aren’t demonstrations or performances. Chef Ted teaches small-group, hands-on cooking classes in his own kitchen, or in yours, using fresh ingredients, real tools, and a clear, direct teaching style. Whether you’re a beginner or someone who cooks often, the class is shaped around who’s in the room and what’s being prepared.

Each class focuses on practical techniques, flavor balance, and learning by doing. You’ll chop, cook, plate, and taste throughout the session, and leave with new confidence in your skills. It’s a relaxed setting with a professional behind the stove, and the goal is always the same: to make good food and enjoy the process of making it.

These classes are popular with couples, families, solo travelers, and small groups looking for a meaningful, authentic Vermont experience. Bachelorette cooking parties are welcome.
