Kitchen Planning

The first step in learning how to cook is having the right tools in your kitchen. Chef Melinda can help equip your kitchen with the right cookware, utensils, serving pieces and appliances.

Depending on your level of expertise, you need different kitchen equipment. For instance, a beginner chef may not need an immersion blender, but an advanced chef will use an immersion blender to make velvety smooth soups. Chef Melinda personalizes each kitchen according to you!

Chef Melinda can also help you stock your pantry – from teaching you the basic grocery items you always need to keep in your pantry for everyday cooking to specialty items used for gourmet cooking. You might not always need to have exotic mushrooms in your pantry, but for a dinner party featuring beef wellington you’ll need to add it to your grocery list!

Almost as important as stocking your kitchen, Chef Melinda can help you set up and stock a wine cellar. From personal and professional experience, she knows a lot about wines! Wonder which white or red wine is best to cook with? Chef Melinda can help!
