Cook, Sip, and Gather Around the Table
In-home culinary experiences with Chef Dane
Cooking brings people together in a way few things can. Whether it’s a date night, a dinner party with friends, or a team gathering outside the office, it’s not just about the food—it’s about the time spent around the stove, the stories shared, and the fun of doing something new together.
That’s exactly what I bring to the table. My private cooking experiences are built around your group, your pace, and what you’re excited to learn. It’s not a one-size-fits-all class—it’s your night, your kitchen, and your menu.
Personal Cooking Classes
If you’ve always wanted to cook with more confidence, learn how to make something from scratch, or just enjoy a hands-on experience with people you care about, this is a great place to start. I’ll walk you through everything—safely, calmly, and step-by-step—whether you’re brand new to the kitchen or a pretty solid home cook looking to learn more.
We’ll cook an entire meal together, and once it’s ready, you’ll sit down and enjoy it, just as any great dinner should be: with no rush and plenty of satisfaction.
I’ll bring all the ingredients and handle cleanup when we’re done. You don’t need to plan or shop for anything—just show up hungry and curious.
Cocktail & Mocktail Classes
Looking for something interactive before dinner—or a fun way to break the ice? I offer private mixology sessions where you’ll learn how to make seasonal cocktails (or non-alcoholic mocktails) with style and balance. We’ll explore flavor pairings, shaker techniques, and a few simple formulas you can use at home again and again.
No bar experience needed. I’ll supply what you need(alcohol not included), and we’ll make it approachable, easy to enjoy, and fun to learn.
Cooking Demonstration + Dinner
Want to learn a few things without having to cook? This experience lets you enjoy the show while I prepare a chef-curated meal in your home. You and your guests can ask questions, sip wine, and relax while I cook and explain what I’m doing along the way.
It’s part behind-the-scenes, part private dinner—ideal for folks who love great food and are curious about what happens in a professional kitchen, but still want to enjoy the evening without lifting a finger.
Group & Corporate Experiences
If you’re planning something for your team—whether it’s a retreat, a holiday party, or just a break from the usual routine—my cooking classes offer a great way to connect outside the office.
These sessions are hands-on, lively, and designed to encourage people to talk, laugh, and work together. We can keep things casual or add a little friendly competition—it’s all tailored to the group and the day’s goal.
What’s Always Included
- A custom menu or drink list based on your tastes and dietary needs
- All fresh, high-quality ingredients (locally sourced when possible)
- Any tools, cookware, or serving pieces we might need
- Set up before the event and a complete cleanup afterward
- Printed recipes to keep and use again at home
Whether you’re celebrating something big or just want to do something different with the people you love, I’ll help you create an experience that’s meaningful, personal, and truly enjoyable from start to finish.
Let’s cook something great together!
