Hands On Master Classes

As part of CAFÉ’s Leadership Conference, we are offering two opportunities for instructors to be in the kitchen for a few hours of hands on instruction.

June 21, from 1-4 p.m., attendees (each class limited to 20) can choose either one of these pre-conference classes. 

The cost is $25. You will receive Continuing Education Hours for the experience, which we promise will be fun as well as geared to your experiences in the classroom. Registration is now open for the Master Classes on June 21.

Carving

Join us and learn from Chef Patrick O’Brien, the Carving Ninja, for his hands-on Garde Manger Master Class. Although watermelon will be the star, attendees will learn techniques to carve multiple items.

Class size is limited to 20.
