Ltd. Enrollment ONSITE Class!Basics of Cooking:A Cooking Class for Absolute Beginners w/Chef Kneessy

NOTE: This class was moved from Tue 7/21.

We are offering a very limited number of students (12 to be exact) the ability to sit right in our kitchens as Chef Kneessy teaches the online version of this class. That’s right, you’ll interact with Chef in an intimate kitchen setting but we know why you’re really here…the smells, the “behind the scenes” experience and oh yes…the TASTES!  That’s what we thought. 

Here’s what you can expect in this class: 

Maybe you are on your own for the first time and have discovered that eating out is expensive and take-out is tiresome.  (College bound? Newly married? Loss of a spouse? Recently divorced? etc.), or maybe you just think it’s time you learned how to cook (or cook better) - darn it!!  You desperately need a small repertoire of dishes for daily dining, but you can barely manage instant coffee. Sound like you? Then this is the class for you.

Tonight’s instructor, Chef Andrew Kneessy, has a resume that includes the Occidental Restaurant (Washington, DC), the Canadian Embassy, Blair House and the White House, where he cooked for George Bush and Bill Clinton, among many other amazing accomplishments in his career, so you can bet your whisk that he can teach you a LOT about the basics of cooking.

Chef Andrew who is a consummate professional and (patient!) culinary Instructor, will assume you know nothing --- absolutely nothing --- about cooking and we take it from there. He’ll get you on your cooking feet and on your way to preparing simple, healthy, delicious food in no time. 

We will learn about basic cooking equipment and menu planning plus essential culinary skills like basic knife skills and more. In this informative cooking class, you’ll learn to make dishes that can easily be varied that will take you well beyond Ramen Noodles and Spaghetti-O’s!  (C’mon… you  know who you are!)

If I were you, I wouldn’t miss this great ONSITE class right here in the CCKC kitchen!

NOTE: For Onsite Classes, when you arrive, please check in with our Class Assistant who will give you information as to where you will be seated.  We will be arranging our classrooms to allow for social distancing. In order to comply with governmental orders and for the protection of our guests and staff, we ask that you wear a mask when here at The Culinary Center of Kansas City. If you are planning to sit next to someone else attending the class, we would suggest arriving at least 20 minutes prior to the start time of the class so that we can address that request.  Both students would need to be comfortable with the request to be seated together. Thank you!
