Culinary Chef I too long for you? Looking for an intense, fun and food-filled course? Chef Eric designed this program to fill a void – many of his students want even more information and knowledge from him, but in a shorter timeframe. So, Chef Eric created a wonderful, intense series for those who want more information packed into eight weeks. This course combines hands-on practical knowledge with the same support and encouragement from Chef Eric that students have come to know and love. Emphasis throughout the series is placed on whole grains and the use of healthy cooking oils. As the weeks progress, students are given more assignments to encourage multi-tasking and working under time constraints.

Registration includes an Embroidered Chef Jacket and Apron. The class meets once weekly, 4 hours a week, for eight weeks. Certificates are awarded upon completion of all eight classes. This course is perfectly suited for Personal Chefs or Caterers as we emphasize Menu Development, and Plating and Presentation. It is designed for personal cooks who want to improve their skills and add significantly to their repertoire of ingredients, cooking styles and recipes.

Due to the amount of information taught each day, it is essential that students attend every class. If you are unable to attend all 8 classes we will issue you a Certificate of Completion and send you the recipes for the missed class(es). There are NO MAKEUPS in this series.
