Gourmet My Garbage 30-minute Virtual Consultation, $50

Are you struggling to create meals that everyone will enjoy? Invite Teaching Table into your kitchen (virtually) to help you refresh your fridge, clear out your pantry, and turn unused food into gourmet dishes. During our session, you will show me the ingredients you have on hand, share your culinary challenges, and present your "cook with what you have" dilemmas. I’ll help you brainstorm potential uses for the ingredients, suggest practical substitutions, and provide follow-up recipes and techniques so that you can immediately start cooking with what you have.
