Cooking Classes at Professional Domestic Institute...
      From Soup to Nuts & Everything in Between!

 

Good food is an essential part of living well. Novice and seasoned cooks alike can benefit from the year-round cooking courses offered by Professional Domestic Services Institute. Imagine what a tremendous benefit some new skills will do for dinner time at your house!

Designed to be fun and interactive - as well as educational - we encourage students to be creative while they learn. Whether you are just beginning or are an experienced cook who would like to learn new techniques, you will surely find a class to suit your needs. (This class is a MUST for newly engaged couples!)

All our classes are limited to just a few students at a time in order to provide everyone with individualized attention. Hands-on participation is not only encouraged, but required. We believe that the only way to learn new cooking skills is to practice them yourself.



Do you need ideas for spectacular appetizers? Would you like to learn more about how to prepare certain kinds of meat, such as lamb or turkey? Do you want to be able to produce show-stopping desserts? Or learn to garnish plates attractively? Perhaps you simply want to learn some tricks of the trade... Whatever your reasons, you will find what you need at Professional Domestic Institute’s cooking classes.

Instructor Carol Scudere brings her years of experience not only in cooking for friends and family, but also in cooking for the wealthy families she has cared for over the years. Ask any of the many students she has taught over the years, or any of the many friends and family for whom she has prepared her incomparable meals—her talents in the kitchen are extraordinary!



  • Each class is approximately 3 hours in length; hands-on participation is required.

  • Each class limited in size to 6 students per class. This will allow more individualized attention and it will afford students the opportunity to choose the date and time that works best for everyone participating.

  • Prepayment is required via MasterCard or Visa. Personal checks are not accepted. Refunds will be given only in the event of a class cancellation by PDI.

  • Students must furnish their own aprons; Professional Domestic Institute will supply rubber gloves.
  • In order to maintain a healthy environment for everyone, anyone with a current, contagious health issue will not be allowed in class. Anyone with cold symptoms (coughing, runny nose, etc.) will not be allowed to work with food and will follow proper health prevention habits.
