Introduction: All cooking classes are conducted in our "tiny kitchen." The food photos displayed on my website (dcdcuisine.com) are all items created in our kitchen. (We figure if we can make these dishes in an apartment kitchen, you can do it wherever you call home.) Our hope is that these classes will attract people who know the benefit of sharing a good meal with loved ones. In the DCD Basics class, we will touch on basic techniques that every cook should be able to master. Great tasting food can be prepared, cooked, and served without a lot of frills. Because pretty, tasty, food isn’t about equipment or gadgets. It’s about the experience of being together with people you love and making memories. (Eating food that tastes good just makes things better.) You don’t have to have a lot of people to create an “event” or make a memory. We found that sometimes an event is simply two people using a real dinner plate and not a paper one. (Let's not forget the cloth napkin. A good bottle of wine doesn't hurt either!)

“In just a short period of time, I learned some basic cooking techniques that I will never forget. Learning techniques rather than just how to follow a recipe has helped me look at cooking in a whole new way. After a brief lesson with Danny, I feel more adventurous in trying new recipes, and I’m spending more time cooking for my family with less stress.“

If you want to learn cooking basics or how to turn a meal from average to amazing without the stress, sign up for a class. It's definitely worth it.

The entire experience was wonderful; from the comfortable atmosphere to the finished product. I learned so much, who knew there were different salts for different uses? I now have knowledge that I'll be able put into action. The food that was prepared by Danny was so very tasty and as a novice cook I'm excited to start using what I learned at home. Thank you DVD Cuisine for a great experience!

My wife and I had a great time with Danny. He was able to show us several food ideas we can use daily in our kitchen. The class was customized for our interest and really well done. We are going to schedule another class with Danny in the very near future.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The two-hour culinary journey is $45/person. The classes is limited to a minimum of two guests and a maximum of four.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I would encourage all potential guests to visit my website. All classes are conducted in a relaxed atmosphere sitting at the kitchen counter. Classes are offered for a minimum of two persons and a maximum of four. I'm happy to chat by phone, text, or email to make sure the experience is exactly what you're hoping for.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My family always enjoyed meals together. We have found memories of being in the kitchen and eating good food. My wife and I enjoy entertaining, and nine times out of ten everyone gathers at the kitchen counter. We hope to recreate that experience for our guests. Aside from hands on experience with my mom, grandmothers, and friends who are excellent cooks, I've taken courses from the Culinary Institute of America. I'm an avid reader always searching for the technique behind a recipe. (Ask me about the emulsions course I took at Harvard University.)
