Cooking With Michael
Cooking with Michael is not your ordinary cooking class and more than likely something you will never see on Food TV or on the Discovery Channel!!!!!

Chef is a fun, fast paced, high-energied culinarian that really enjoys having a great time while cooking.

His idea is pretty simple...

He treats his cooking classes like he does his kitchens. Everyone puts on an apron and gets involved in the entire process of the meal(s) being prepared and helps him cook. Then everyone sits down to a family style dinner and devours everything they prepared.

Michael makes a couple guarantees with his cooking classes.

1) Everybody will have an awesome evening and meal.
2) Everyone will learn something
3) Everyone will leave with new recipes, ideas and most importantly new friends and a full belly.

Here are a few pictures from a couple of the previous cooking classes

(Actually there was no one named Bob at the class it was just an opportunity to toast good friends and food)
Chef Tom, a chef at a local Cajun Restaurant was a regular to Chef Mike's "South of the Border" cooking classes

As with all the other phases of
Your Craving Is My Command, the classes are based around the individuals involved, and the prices vary according to what is agreed upon between the customer and chef as far as food, location, purchasing of food and alcohol etc.

There are varied programs that Michael offers that may be of interest to you. Please feel free to contact him via email or telephone for more specifics about pricings. And keep in mind that Michael is willing to travel throughout the southeast.

Some of the programs that Michael offers are:

Individual instruction-Michael will come to your house and teach you hands-on, one-on-one on a menu and/or recipes that the two of you decide upon. Great gift for your spouse, secretary or anyone else that you are stumped on a gift for.

Home based Group Instruction-Same as above but can contain up to ten total house guests. This is ideal for the Friday and Saturday night gatherings or after work get-togethers.

Group Instruction- This is reserved for larger parties, that are more than likely out of house, or perhaps good for an indoor/outdoor function. Classes are limited to twenty people.

Cooking Demonstrations- In this type of class, it is more of a "watch Chef Mike cook" scenario, but why watch him cook when you could be joining in on all the fun!!!!

"Stuff I have in my cupboard I have no idea what to do with"- This is perhaps one of Michael's favorite types of classes, because everything is based around his imagination. The idea is pretty fun and can be done in one of two ways. The first and most popular, is that Michael just shows up at your house with his tools and develops a couple meals out of whatever he can find in your cupboard and refrigerator. The second way, and twice as much fun,  is that you host a group instruction party at your home and have your guests bring a "mystery bag" with ingredients for Michael to play around with and everyone designs a meal based on the ingredients in the mystery bags.
