Wrap up Chef Mark’s three-part Essentials series with Essentials III, the class where everything comes together. This session is all about mastering core cooking methods—the techniques that sit underneath virtually every great recipe. From braising and sautéing to blanching, poaching, pan roasting, baking, and more, you’ll learn not just how to do each method, but when to use it and why it works.

Chef Mark will demonstrate professional approaches to heat control, timing, seasoning, and texture, so you can confidently adapt to any ingredient or recipe that comes your way. By the end of class, you’ll understand the building blocks of cooking well—and feel ready to tackle anything from a weeknight dinner to a special-occasion meal without second-guessing yourself.

Menu includes:

  • Braised Pork with Cabbage 
  • Poached Salmon
  • Pan Roasted Chicken 
  • Perfect Roasted Potatoes & Sautéed Vegetables plus sauces for each protein 

Series option: Essentials III is the third and final class in the Essentials series. You can register for each class individually, or sign up for all three at once for a series discount. Registering for the full series totals $285 per person.

After this class you will have the confidence and techniques to make any recipe feel doable—and delicious.
