What You’ll Do

Put a savory gourmet spin on some classic domestic dishes with an elevated all-American menu.

American favorites take on a whole new character in this hands-on cooking class with Chef Darnell. He'll demonstrate his techniques for reinventing familiar tastes by adding intriguing new elements.

You'll begin by assembling an arugula salad topped with dried cranberries and toasted almonds, dressed with fresh blue cheese. Then, prepare a roasted chicken flavored with thyme and Dijon mustard, with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed broccolini on the side. And for a tempting twist on a beloved dessert, whip up a brownie and berry Napoléon with fresh strawberries.

Guests are welcome to provide wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

I hosted a cooking class at my house, and it was such a fun, laid-back experience! The instructor kept things casual and made it feel like cooking with friends. We learned great recipes and had a blast. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxed, enjoyable cooking experience!

Chef Darnell prepared a fabulous meal. There were 6 of us and we all commented favorably on the preparation and presentation. Chef even changed a menu item at our request which turned out to be off-the-charts awesome. In addition, Chef Darnell is extremely personable so we enjoyed his company throughout the evening. Recommend highly!

Chef Darnell was amazing for our dinner party of 8. He arrived early, was friendly and engaging, and prepared a delicious 3 course meal that far exceeded our expectations. Our guests were so impressed. We cant wait to hire him again! I would give him 10 stars if I could.
