Comp's Cooking Classes
About
I have 11 years of teaching culinary arts in a college environment and 25 years in the restaurant and Foodservice industry. I have worked with children and adults as individuals or in groups helping them develop skills for cooking simple to extraordinary meals.
I love being able to encourage and develop people's skills and have them enjoy something they can create themselves with ease.
