Learn to Cook where you gather & entertain
Beaver Creek is the quieter side of the Vail Valley — gated villages, ski-valet service, the 3pm cookies, residences where everything has already been thought through. The guests we cook for here didn't end up next door to Vail by accident; they chose the gates, the calm, and the lack of a scene. A hands-on cooking class belongs naturally inside that rhythm: an evening built around your own kitchen instead of a reservation, with the same white-glove ease as the rest of the trip.
We teach the way Beaver Creek hosts — unhurried, attentive, and finished to the same standard as the residence itself. Classes are calibrated for the kitchens we typically walk into here: serious equipment, refined menus, altitude-adjusted technique, and a pace that lets the conversation lead. The result is the indoor centerpiece of a ski week — a meal everyone helped make, served at your own table, with nothing left for you to handle afterward.
Three Ways to Cook With Us
Every class is built around your skill level, your kitchen or venue, and the cuisine you want to learn. Choose the format that fits — each one is led personally by a CIA-trained chef, not a coordinator.
Private In-Home Class
One-on-one or a small household in your own residence kitchen. Choose the cuisine, set the pace, and learn the techniques you'll actually use — from knife skills to a full multi-course menu. Ideal for couples, families, and gifts.
1-8 GuestsGroup Class
A hands-on class for the full residence — family ski weeks, milestone trips, or a connoisseur dinner party with the cooking built in. Everyone takes part, no one feels rushed, and the night ends with the meal you made together.
10-20 GuestsCorporate Team-Building
Team-building that fits the Beaver Creek standard. Competitive cook-offs or collaborative menus for groups of 15 to 100 — suited to executive offsites and incentive trips. We handle setup, instruction, and the shared meal at the end.

A Custom Curriculum,
Built Around What You Want to Learn
There's no fixed syllabus. Every class starts with a short conversation about what the group wants out of it — a relaxed hands-on dinner, a connoisseur menu, finally learning something specific, or a competitive cook-off for a corporate group. We build the curriculum around that, and around the residence we'll be cooking in.
Because Chef Steve is CIA-trained and has cooked across 30+ markets, classes go beyond recipes into real technique — the why behind the method, so what you learn carries into every meal you cook afterward. Mountain-kitchen adjustments for Beaver Creek's altitude are built in.
