Join cookbook author, food blogger and photographer Alexandra Shytsman for a hands-on food-styling and photography workshop designed specifically for bloggers and Instagram enthusiasts. The class will be divided into two sections. First, we’ll cover technical concepts with a digital presentation; then, we'll move on to the kitchen for a hands-on photoshoot. Throughout the workshop, Alex will provide you with a toolkit for capturing food for digital media, including: DSLR camera essentials; natural and artificial lighting; food-styling trends; equipment tips; composition basics; and smartphone photography advice. We’ll also discuss how to use props for visual storytelling, how to style food "on set" (aka your kitchen), and how to develop your own visual style. Whether you’re shooting on a phone or a professional camera, for your Instagram account or for your cookbook, this class will give you the tools and inspiration to create drool-worthy images. The workshop is ideal for bloggers, private chefs, aspiring food photographers and future Instagram stars.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.

The popularity of Korean BBQ is growing, fueled by the DIY aspect of making dinner with friends and family and eating as you cook. You don’t have to have a table with a built-in grill to enjoy your favorite flavor-packed grilled meats at home: grill pans on your stove or an outdoor grill are great stand-ins. Your menu starts with gyeran jjim (steamed egg custard); then moves to the grilling of sokalbi gui (beef short ribs) and samgyeopsal (pork belly) and assorted banchan (spicy vegetable side dishes) complete the meal.

After class, you’ll take your sugared, frosted, candy-studded masterpiece home. This class is appropriate for children ages 5 and older. Each pair of seats must have 1 child and 1 adult.
