“We’re not all born great cooks, but the beauty of cooking is, despite your skill level, you can still reap the rewards of the process,” Sheer said. “Learn new ways to approach food and cooking, giving you a reinvigorated enthusiasm for putting dinner on the table.”

Sheer’s recipes use local ingredients from farmers’ markets, many found right here in Greenwich. 

She believes in “delicious, homemade food that can nourish us” –  using the best possible ingredients, and teaches new and trusted techniques from cuisines the world over.

Participation is welcomed but not mandatory. Meal prep and time-saving tips will be discussed to make your busy lives easier. Now you too can learn the tricks from a personal chef who shares her culinary secrets.”

For the August 1 class, space is limited. The fee is $85.00.  Contact Sheer by email at [email protected] for more information or call 201 580-0259
