Classes & Demos


Chef Demonstration Events
Chef William's sister Kitty was an inspiration and a great support in his culinary adventures. They shared the same passion for eating and trying new food. As a tribute to her memory, William offers what he privately and fondly refers to as Kitty’s Test Kitchen, but which is really just a great and fun way to enjoy a wonderful meal together with friends and family by observing the "chef at work".

Chef William has an open mind and an unbiased palate, and his knowledge of food and beverage pairings will not disappoint. He will be happy to demonstrate a menu of his design or incorporate and cook anything you request. Some of his clients have presented unique challenges in recreating Uncle Raymond’s Rhubarb Pie or their grandma’s special recipe for Fried Chicken. Chef William loves the challenge, does the research and has always risen to the occasion.

Here's how it works. First you pick an available date, secure it will William and invite your guests. Chef will arrive on site after shopping for all the necessary ingredients. He will talk about the ingredients in the recipes, the method of preparation and cooking, various chef tips and he will be happy to answer questions throughout the process. Chef William becomes part of the event as he prepares the menu, serves your guests and then dines with you.

Most menus will consist of either an Hors d'oeurve or Dessert (your choice), and main course that consists of a Starch, Vegetable, and Protein. Two different wines will be paired with each meal. Kids under the age of 12 can have their own fun meal like Macaroni and Cheese, Pasta, Hot Dogs, Pizza, etc. which can be included for a nominal fee.

It usually takes 3-4 hours for a successful demonstration and meal and the chef will use your kitchen, dish wear, flat wear, table appointments and linens. If some of these items need to be provided by a rental company, some additional costs may be incurred.

If there are any dietary concerns among you or your guests, we would appreciate advance notice so that we can plan accordingly.

The Chef Demo Dinner makes a great gift for the “foodies” in your life and gift certificates are available. It’s a great entertainment option for small private get-togethers.

Cooking Classes
Chef William will be honored to customize more traditional and educational cooking classes for individuals and small groups. These classes provide for solid instruction in a very hands-on manner and are great when you want to take your cooking skills to the next level and beyond. All skill levels welcome.
