 about the chefs
Each chef is carefully selected by Chef-Owner Shermay Lee for their teaching ability, sound technical knowledge and culinary experience. Most of our chefs have 10-15 years of cooking experience - some in 3-Michelin star kitchens in Europe - are Executive Chefs of their own restaurants or award-winning cookbook authors (see below).
We have a wide range of chefs teaching an international range cuisines such as pastry and baking (cupcakes, cakes, cookies, chocolate and breads); Western (mainly, Italian and French); and, Asian (Japanese, Chinese, Southeast Asian and authentic Peranakan/Nonya). We are particularly committed to preserving classical or 'old school' Asian techniques and recipes; however, we also teach modern Asian and Western cuisine reflecting the latest trends in the culinary world.
 about the classes
Our classes/workshops are designed to make cooking accessible, easy and fun for novice as well as advanced chefs, so students of any culinary ability and background are welcome!
A stainless steel state-of-art kitchen, fully-equipped with De Dietrich induction technology is used to conduct classes in a professional demonstration kitchen; however, the recipes are designed to be replicated in a domestic kitchen. Classes are usually conducted on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons. There are also half-day or full-day class on weekdays as well as short morning talks.
There are 2 formats: a step-by-step cooking demonstration by the chef followed by food tasting and/or take-home box; or hands-on cooking by the students supervised by the chef with a take-home box. (Check our latest schedule for details.)

The school is also used as a platform to showcase and nurture local award-winning chefs and cookbook authors...a place for individuals of any culinary ability to learn practical tips from professional chefs, making them better cooks or simply to inspire them..."
