Private Palm Springs Cooking Class with Chef Stephen in La Quinta
What your day looks like
Host Bio: Although Chef Stephen went to school for audio engineering, food and cooking were a deep passion. He was inspired to become a chef almost three decades ago when his girlfriend Jennifer (and now wife) told him, "You are doing a great disservice to the world if you don't become a chef." He proceeded to get a degree in the culinary arts and has worked in fine-dining restaurants for most of his career. Stephen and Jennifer moved to La Quinta to be closer to family where he now works as a personal chef. Chef Stephen enjoys imparting his culinary knowledge to people and is looking forward to sharing pro chef tricks and stories from being in the industry for several years.

The journey, in full
Cooking Description: Meet your host Chef Stephen at his home in La Quinta for your hands-on, Palm Springs cooking class. Sip on a refreshing drink and snacks as your host shares stories about being a chef. Then join him in his kitchen, a newly renovated, contemporary space. Learn to cook a Southwestern-inspired seasonal meal during your cooking class that is a combination of some hands-on cooking and a cooking demonstration. A very encouraging chef, Chef Stephen is great at sharing chef tips and tricks including how to plate your meal. You will learn to cook three courses during your cooking lesson and demonstration that lasts about 1.5 hours. After the cooking is done, you will sit down at the table to share the Southwestern meal you helped prepare with Chef Stephen (and his wife Jennifer when she is available). Beer or wine is included in the cost of your experience. This customizable Palm Springs culinary experience is ideal for date nights, families or small groups. Chef Stephen can accommodate gluten-free, lactose-free, vegetarian, vegan diets and kosher diets. For meal-only experiences that do not include a cooking class, Chef Stephen requires a minimum of five guests.
