Take Team Building to the next level 

Team Building is a planned effort that is made in order to improve communication and working relationships in a group of people.  In the last few years, team building has been recognized as an important factor in companies being able to provide quality service and remain competitive in their industries.

Lessons from the kitchen such as meeting deadlines, making decisions while cooperating as a team, can all be benefits of the culinary experience.  Working together in the kitchen promotes the efforts of a diverse group to come together with the same goal in mind - to enjoy an unforgettable meal.

At Classic Cooking your team will establish and develop a greater sense of teamwork.

Classic Cooking offers 12 different suggested menus and occasions for your team building event.

Red and white house wines, coffee, and iced tea are included in the cost.

Menus can be viewed by clicking on Team Building and Private Events in the blue column on the left hand side of the screen

Pascal Dionot

Classic Cooking has the answer to all your questions with Chef/Owner Pascal Dionot. Trained in France, Germany and Spain before arriving in the United States, Chef Dionot has an education and background that is among the finest. His passion for fine food and the best in culinary training served him well throughout Europe and in this country. For some time he was Executive Chef at the Hay Adams Hotel in Washington DC, a venue for the wealthy and powerful. He then joined the faculty of L’Academie de Cuisine in Maryland and taught there for 18 years. Chef Dionot went on to open, as a partner, Restaurant 2941 in Northern Virginia and it subsequently acquired great acclaim by all who dined there. Two years ago, Chef Dionot relocated to Scottsdale and, thus, began his planning for a culinary school.

Chef Dionot will teach a comprehensive program from basic skills, stocks, soups, sauces, eggs, vegetables, meat fabrication, fish and shellfish, grains, pasta, pastry, hors d’oeuvres, Asian techniques, desserts and chocolate.

Chef Dionot’s love of teaching is reflected in his enthusiasm to impart his vast knowledge to those who are eager to learn from one of the best. If you cannot find the time or do not have the resources to attend a full-time culinary program, this is the golden opportunity for you to achieve a higher level of proficiency in the kitchen. Upon completion of the course, you will feel as if you have attended one of the finest culinary educational programs available. Your standard of culinary proficiency and love of fine food will be life-changing.

The cost of the 24 week course is $2,150 and a payment plan is available.  A certificate will be awarded upon completion. Space is limited so register early!
