Private Cooking Classes for Small Groups
Your host and instructor trained in France at the Cordon Bleu, in Italy at the Gritti Palace and the Villa d"Este and in London from numerous professionals. The menus featured in the cooking classes are modern rather than classic and are vegetable centric to highlight the wonderful produce available from local organic farms. Guest instructors for single lessons will include a master baker trained in California and Oregon.
Every year for two weeks in August, Staunton hosts the finest classical musicians from round the world for the Staunton Music Festival. All proceeds from the Hungry Musician Cooking Classes go to catering and restaurant vouchers for the artists. The Festival presents an immersive classical music experience featuring more than 600 years of music over the course of 10 days and nights.
During the Staunton Music Festival (and throughout the year to coincide with concerts) six students will gather for the preparation of a complete menu. Meats and fish will be simply grilled, smoked, or roasted with an emphasis on new flavors in sauces and relishes. Vegetable dishes will showcase taste color, and texture. Desserts will star fresh fruits in granitas, panna cottas, delicate pastries and one lesson will include a flourless raspberry soufflé.
