New Class: "Developing Your Palate"
Many participants have called this a "life-changing" class!
Developed and presented by Chef Rita for the Denver 2010 USPCA Convention as a training lecture for professional personal chefs, this very popular class, always filled to capacity, ranks highly by attendees, and sells out quickly. Lecture covers taste physiology (physical), taste perception (emotional), balancing western- and eastern-cuisine flavor profiles, and much more, and includes working with 3 samples, so you can apply your new skills with side-by-side help from the chef.
