So happy to find out that Chef Roger is teaching classes for the public again! I’m a long-time fan from pre-COVID days. His classes are fun, practical and hands-on. He will teach you the recipes but also give recommendations on products & ingredients from his long experience as a professional chef. You will come away from the class with some good recipes along with a hefty serving of cooking knowledge.

Yes, there are plenty of “Master Chefs” around, but Chef Roger stands above the other Master Chefs. Why? He shows respect and joy to his craft and to his students. He wants his students to be better cooks. He not only talks about the recipes, but dives into cookware, knives, equipment and cooking techniques. Want to significantly improve your cooking? Then sign up for Chef Roger’s classes.
