ZOOM COOKING CLASSES—ARE THEY WORTH TAKING?

I took a Zoom class taught by chef Dale Talde of Goosefeather restaurant in Tarrytown, NY, and was surprised at how much I enjoyed the experience. What could be bad about learning a new skill that concludes with a great dish that’s ready to eat?

I started teaching Zoom classes, when I realized that there is something memorable about a group of people, each in their own kitchens, all cooking the same thing at the same time.

"The class was terrific. Everything was very clear and easy to understand. Nice people. Adeline did an amazing job and I could see everything on camera very well. There’s no way I could’ve made this on my own. I’m so happy I got to attend the class and I can’t wait for the next one! Thank you!" –Jane Hamill

I relish the challenge of exposing techniques that are presumed to be difficult and informing why and how they are actually easy. It turns out that Zoom’s visuality makes it easy to demonstrate and resolve issues as they come up.

"I finally learned how to make pie crust! Thanks to Adeline's class I DID IT! And it was easy." -Arlene Vaquer

Until I taught my first Zoom class, I really wasn’t certain if I could pull it off. I was thrilled to discover that it worked and best of all I absolutely love teaching the classes.

"I loved your class!! My chili came out great and the flavors were so enticing with a little spice. Thank you. It’s my new recipe. John loved it." —Cathy Nyhan

What I wasn’t expecting was that the group affiliation made me feel like I was hosting a party. And I love to entertain!

I am amazed at how effectual Zoom cooking classes are—getting together over food is about way more than cooking. Come to my party!
