Hi,

With as much as I love going out to eat I've decided I need to get a lot more serious about learning to cook beyond some basic things.

I've tried searching the web without many promising results and figure I'd turn to my friends at egullet to see if anyone knew of anyone who offers either private or small group cooking lessons. My schedule is quite variable so its hard for me to commit to steady classes.

perhaps there are some trained chefs who are interested in some extra money on their days off?

Any help is appreciated. thanks.

You can check out

Classic Thyme in Westfield
Mumfords in Shrewsbury
Taste and Technique in Fair Haven

I have been to both Mumfords and Taste and Technique for single session hands on classes, but I have heard excellent things about Classic Thyme

Carol Murphy Clyne and her husband, Vincent, were my chef instructors when I did the Spain and the world table class at CIA. They are very good.

I also was going to provide the link and the recommendation to Carol Murphy Clyne's school, but suzilightning beat me to it! I also took their Spanish class at CIA and thought the teaching was excellent.

I'll add my vote for Carol Murphy Clyne...she used to run the Viking Cooking School (which I would no longer recommend) and I worked with her for a while. She and her husband are both knowledgeable, lovely people--and you'll have FUN, too!
"I'm not eating it...my tongue is just looking at it!" --My then-3.5 year-old niece, who was NOT eating a piece of gum

"Wow--this is a fancy restaurant! They keep bringing us more water and we didn't even ask for it!" --My 5.75 year-old niece, about Bread Bar

"He's jumped the flounder, as you might say."
