Class description

From a beginner to an experienced self-made chef! Our exclusive cooking class in Berlin is guaranteed to make you a better cook in 6 hours. Take with you a lot of knowledge and know-how that you can implement in your kitchen at home. Learn everything about the right knives and boards, learn how to correctly select and process fruit, vegetables and meat, discover different ways of cooking and preparation and will soon effortlessly put together a perfect menu. In this beginner's course part 1, chef Michael Hoffmann doesn't show you how to prepare a simple noodle dish, but this is really about the real basics of classic cooking.

 

What is the process of the cooking class for beginners in Berlin?

It starts with a trip to Paul Bocuse's French cuisine. We start with the absolute basics, climb higher and higher up the cooking ladder and finish with the meat.

After an introduction to the topics of kitchen hygiene, measurement units and food science, it's off to the kitchen. In practice, we focus on the following topics:

  • boards and knives
  • cutting techniques
  • Buy, prepare and professionally process vegetables
  • Preparation methods such as blanching, steaming, roasting, sautéing, braising
  • Prepare basic soups
  • Prepare basic sauces (jus, béchamel, veloute, bolognese)
  • spices (herbs and spices)
  • Prepare filling side dishes (potatoes, rice, pasta)
  • lipids
  • Plan a menu correctly
  • In between, of course, we try our prepared dishes again and again!

Look forward to an exciting cooking class, lots of knowledge and great flavors.
