The course of a cooking workshop

Our cooking workshops work in general as follows:  Our cooking workshops last about 4 hours; 2 hours of cooking and 2 hours of wining and dining. This means that a cooking workshop by Mom’s Kitchen guarantees for a fun and exciting evening out! In addition, our venues are located at some of the uniquest  areas of Amsterdam, supplied with al the professional appliances and staff needed for proper cooking and guidance. Visit the page about our cooking venues for more information about the locations in Amsterdam where our cooking workshops are given. Upon entering, participants will receive a welcome drink and a small bite. Once everyone is inside and ready to begin they are given aprons and menus. The chef will then give an introduction in which the program of the evening is explained. After the introduction, the real work can begin. In cooking workshops for beginners will start with learning some basic skills. The group will learn cutting techniques, the use of cooking appliances and cooking techniques like baking, frying and poaching will be reviewed. The workshops for more advanced cooking begin with the same introduction but the level will be higher there. This is followed by an explanation of the products, their origins and general use in various kitchens around the world.

Then the group will be divided into small groups of two or three participants to prepare one course or several dishes. This of course under the guidance of a professional chef. It is intended that the group can jointly cook the entire menu. To achieve this we work according to the principle of mise en place. This means that each dish and course is properly prepped before they are served at the right time. Timing is very important in this course. That’s where the chef will assist so that everything goes according to plan. During the workshop, the participants can enjoy a fine glass of wine! Need more information about a cooking workshop in Amsterdam by Mom’s Kitchen please contact us via the contact page.
