Who it is for

12 MODULES · 9 HRS · SELF-PACED. Self-paced filmed lessons with a printable prep sheet per module and a skills check at the end. You keep the material. There is no login and no progress tracker. Access arrives by email. Filmed modules by email. No course platform account. Nobody watches from a stool. You work the station, you eat what you made, and you leave with the technique in your hands rather than a stack of printouts you will never open.

Included, and what is not

• Setting up a board
• Pinch grip & the claw
• Dice, julienne, chiffonade
• Salt, acid, and tasting
• Fat and smoke points
• The sear
• Fond & deglazing
• Building a pan sauce

• $180 USD, pay once, no renewal
• Skills check is written notes on a photo you send — not a certificate we have not earned
• No online checkout today. Arranged with us, then paid as quoted

From quote to the night

There is no cart and no calendar widget. You tell us what you want to cook and how many of you there are. We write back with a price in USD and the times we can actually run it. You say yes, we hold the room, and you settle at the door until Stripe-hosted Checkout is switched on for that same approved amount.

1. Request a quote naming this track
2. We confirm the USD amount in writing
3. You approve. We take payment off-site today; later, Stripe-hosted Checkout for that approved amount
4. Material and access notes go to the email you gave us

Where and when

Self-paced. Works anywhere you can watch a video and cook. Priced in USD. Free parking sits on the lot. The walk from the car to the kitchen floor is step-free. If the drive from Springfield or the evening does not work, the same curriculum is filmed as online tracks — still priced in USD, still arranged with us first.
