Classic German and Austrian dishes, taught hands-on from start to finish. Simple techniques, real results, in your own kitchen.
These are the comforting, from-scratch meals many of us grew up with, or wish we had. Every student cooks every dish themselves, step-by-step, so you leave knowing how to make it again, not just how it tasted.
Choose a hearty German dinner, our German holiday cookie class, and more. Several are also offered as couples classes, so they make an easy date night.
Classes are held at Culinary by Hobby Hill in Powhatan, VA, just west of Richmond.
Who knew I could work with yeast and create both sweet (Kolache) and savory (Klobasnek) goodness! Imagine danishes….this is what we created! Some with cherry or blueberry filling and others with sausage, sage, onions and cream cheese! Oh my, oh my! Sharon was so very patient and encouraging throughout course. I never felt hurried and the class participants mingled, laughed and cheered each other on. This experience was totally worth it! Great outing with friends and BONUS: you come home with goodies, memories and the confidence to bake at home!
Fun and educational experience, with multiple delicious outcomes (dishes). Highly recommended. We'll be back!

Awesome Sour dough Class
Fantastic sourdough class. Clear instruction, super knowledgeable teacher, and tons of practical tips I could use immediately. I walked in unsure of some aspects and walked out more confident — and my bread has never looked better. Highly recommend. Thank you Sharon!

Cinnamon buns
We loved making hot fresh cinnamon buns! My husband and I both took the class so we had a double batch! We dropped half of our buns off to the hard working nurses at my mom’s nursing home. What a treat!
I recently took Sharon's Beginner Sourdough class, and I'm now addicted to making it. Sharon not only demystifies all things sourdough, but she also keeps in touch with our class in texts to ensure that everything is going well! You don't get better than that!
