SEASONAL CLASSES
“It’s all in the experience”
“It’s not always the recipes you are learning,
it’s the little things in how you get there along the way that will make you a better cook.”

Located in the kitchen design studios at DEANE, Inc. in Stamford, our hands-on cooking classes are fun and interactive, with seasonal menus and entertaining themes to choose from.
Get cooking with customized, private cooking parties for entertaining, corporate team building, friends’ night out, and celebrations of every kind.

We work with individuals, groups, and organizations to design an event that is fun for all.
Culinary Works has the perfect recipe to create unique, memorable, and delicious events. We invite you to consider us to host your next event.
MEET JULIA DEANE
EXECUTIVE CHEF
Home chef, cooking instructor, mother, wife, woman….juggling it all and taking on what life brings with enthusiasm. My professional training comes post-undergraduate from a local community college (studying under a certified master chef) and various recreational cooking schools in Italy, Chicago, New Orleans, and New York City. My practical training comes
from many hours in the kitchen cooking, eating, entertaining, and teaching. I have owned and run my own culinary school since 2002. I successfully teach the average person how to navigate through the kitchen with more confidence and vigor and I am proud of what I do!
