Come join us for a great date night or take a series of classes to master an art at Create with Chef Martin, where passion for food and love for life come together.Singles, couples, friends, family - anyone looking to learn or improve upon their cooking skills while at the same time meeting new people and having fun.How do classes work?We love everything about working together in the kitchen - from meeting new people to learning from the best to exploring new foods. That's why our classes are designed to be hands on, informative, and social. Classes start with a brief demonstration format as your chef describes kitchen safety and a recipe overview before everyone breaks into groups. We also set up stations around the kitchen where you can explore several culinary experiences - so if you want to master a plate from start to finish or roam about the kitchen, you can do both! Everything you make can be consumed in class or taken home. At Create with Chef Martin, you will learn 5-star culinary skills in an intimate, top of the line environment at Le Gourmet Kitchen. We offer unique classes from French Breads to Thai Cuisine or Chocolate Workshops to Spanish Tapas. But what truly makes us stand out is our love for food and the joy of its creation. So if you're newlywed or single, if you've cooked for years or always burn your mac and cheese, come join us.
