Halls, resorts, clubs, churches...
Folks invite us to community halls, resorts, homes, churches, and country clubs. Previous years curriculums centered on Arabia, French, Italian, German, and others taught in our facility for ten years! In 2019, we decided to expand our school even larger by offering it across the USA to reach the next 5,000 students, making it 10,000 shared with! Not everyone can travel to our location here. Throughout 2020 we have traveled to cook as far away as Chicago and with 200 people dining at an event! Just get your group together at $80.00 per person. We accept all major credit cards.
Many groups have seen our TV series and want to cook a particular favorite from a first-family - and that's fine! We teach for about 2 1/2 hours showcasing the history, hands-on recipe cookery, and then eat all of what we made! We blend history into classes with slides, videos, wipe boards, flip charts, and hands-on cooking. We are unable to support gluten-free, vegetarian, soy-free, and other medical eating desires in our general classes unless the entire group agrees to it (i.e. an entire soy-free class). However, we do offer all forms of medical cookery and specialized diets with cooking classes in your private home, or community center.
Getting their just desserts, was one of only a few fun things when Chefs Marti and Stormy were cooking at the Clinton Foundation for a recent huge, gala dinner and speech in Little Rock. As "Commander in Chef," stirring things up (sauces and pasta) in the President's cabinet daily, Marti often tricked his guests into healthier food while they believed it to taste fantastic! "The Clintons were the largest advocates for healthy eating after coming to understand the damages of too much junk food, and still are," reveals Chef Marti. "We loved also receiving "All the Presidents' Menus from the Bushes" in Texas, sent by the National Archives - and now have them on display in the museum," "We recently called the Trump's to get some chocolate and now have that on exhibit!" state the two Chefs. President Bush's Chef was just here and did a huge show covered by the press.
"Since that time I also was pleased to consult and design several restaurants for the Trumps. Half of the time we are serving, butlers, bartenders, housekeepers, and Chefs as an Aide to the Presidents, so you are very well-rounded in skill sets."
