What's New
 
I love doing cooking classes and demonstrations - simply because it's a privilege to make a difference with people. Whether they're for kids, adults, serious cooks, or dabblers, my presentations are always fun and full of immediately-useful information.

 

Classes, demonstrations, and presentations include:
Television appearances
Copia: The American Center for Food, Wine & the Arts
Ramekins Sonoma Valley Culinary School
NorthBay Healthcare
Landmark Education
Other teaching experience

 

Television appearances
I've been featured doing cooking demonstrations on KRON4 Weekend News, on Bay Area Backroads, and, for about 1 1/2 seconds, on the Food Network's Giada's Weekend Getaways.

Copia: The American Center for Food, Wine & the Arts
I regularly teach food classes for up to 80 participants at Napa's, world-class programs and exhibitions space. Classes have included short, lecture-style presentations and longer, multi-dish demonstrations, including Copia's signature series, A Taste of Copia Lunch. Subjects have included chocolate, tomatoes, strawberries, breads, and cakes, Asian vegetables, grilling, ice cream and sorbets, cooking with kids, chiles, and cheese.

I also work with Visitor's Activities to conceive of, plan, and produce food programs - from 10-minute presentations to weekend-long events - and assist guest chefs who visit Copia.

NorthBay Healthcare's A Day For Women
For two years in a row, I've been a popular presenter at this all-day event for women in Solano County, doing standing-room only cooking demonstrations with an eye towards health. In 2006, my topic was Tantalize Your Taste Buds: Cooking Cuisine That's Lean. And in 2007, it was Cheese Please: Healthy Ways To Enjoy Cheese.

Landmark Education
As one of their most senior and successful volunteers, I led seminars to introduce people to Landmark Education's courses. I also led the course that trained volunteers to lead those seminars - a rigorous, seven-month program with over 80 participants.

Other teaching experience
In 1993, I taught a course at The Learning Annex about how to open and run a successful cafe.

And back when I worked in advertising, I taught several semesters at both Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and the School of Visual Arts in New York. These are undoubtedly the country's two most prestigious art and design colleges, and them inviting me to instruct was a testament to both my advertising and my teaching expertise.
