Frechissimo adj. /freˈskiːsɪmoʊ/ (Italian) 1. Superlative form of fresco – extremely fresh; very fresh; at peak freshness. With over 18 years of professional kitchen experience and a culinary degree from the esteemed San Diego Culinary Institute, I bring a wealth of knowledge, creativity, and passion to every dish I prepare. My culinary journey has been shaped by time spent in some of the most respected kitchens, including The River Club, Extra Virgin, Michael Smith Restaurant, Farina, Voltaire, The Golden Ox, Le Fou Frog, and The Local Pig. I had the privilege of mentoring under James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Smith for nearly seven years—a formative experience that refined my techniques and deepened my appreciation for excellence in the kitchen. My culinary strengths lie in classic Italian, classic French, contemporary American, and Hispanic cuisines, though I also enjoy crafting custom menus inspired by global flavors and regional traditions. Whether it’s a rustic Mediterranean spread, or an elevated American tasting menu, I tailor each event to the client’s vision and taste. I specialize in sourcing high-quality, seasonal ingredients and designing menus that reflect both sophistication and approachability. My cooking style emphasizes fresh herbs, bright sauces, grilled elements, and fun, unexpected flavor combinations—always presented with a natural, thoughtful aesthetic and generous, unpretentious portions.

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much do private cooking lessons cost?

You can take private cooking classes to have fun, to learn a new skill, to improve your health, to bond with your partner, to enjoy a playful first date or to have a unique birthday party experience. Nationally the average cost of private cooking lessons ranges between $100 and $150. Prices can vary, depending on where you live, the type of cooking class you’re taking, the ingredients the chef provides, and the reputation of the chef. Cooking classes with Anthony Bourdain will clearly cost more than classes with a local restaurant owner. The number of people in the class will also affect the cost, with group lessons often priced per person to account for the cost of ingredients. For example, for group lessons, a brunch workshop may cost an average of $70 per person, a steak dinner with sides could cost an average of $80-$85 per person, and a sushi lesson could cost an average of $100 per person. Ingredients play a major role in cost, as the chef will pre-purchase the food you will be working with. Weekday classes will usually cost less than weekend classes.
