French-Inspired Cooking Classes

"I’ve gone to classes with Lorie and they NEVER disappoint. She is very knowledgeable about food, gives great tips not only for preparing the item but also in suggested presentations/serving, she’s witty and honest, and then the food!!!! Always so flavorful and beautiful."

"The ATOP cooking classes are a blast. I get to meet others with the same passion I have for cooking and learning, AND Lorie makes every class an experience. She takes you on a journey and you feel like you are experiencing the culture through the food. Lorie teaches you recipes that have been tried and tested so they are easy to replicate and you leave feeling like you are a better chef and ready to impress your family and friends."

"Cooking with Lorie is so much fun! The recipes are made hands-on and taste delicious! Everything is very well explained with additional tidbits of information given as we cook. The conversation is always great with lots of laughs while cooking with Lorie!"

“I have taken many classes with Lorie and I always leave inspired. Everything is well-planned with lots of hands-on opportunities. I always learn something new and have so much of fun in the process--and of course the food is delicious.”

"If you are a “foodie” or a beginner, Lorie’s classes offer an interactive cooking experience like no other. Classes benefit the novice cook and reignite the passion for cooking in those with years of experience. I have learned so much from her extensive experience and have enjoyed all the “chef tricks/shortcuts” not learned in cookbooks or the run-of-the-mill classes."

"Over the years, I have taken many different cooking classes, but Lorie's are the absolute best and my favorite! She is an extremely talented chef and teacher; you learn so much in every class - even a seasoned cook like myself! Not only are the class menus and instructions exceptional, the atmosphere is fun, festive and you feel like family! It’s always a blast! "

"Lorie is such an inspirational teacher. I can trace my love of cooking to a French Food class I took years ago when she opened my eyes to the wonder of French cuisine with her simple but elegant menu. It was one of the best meals of my life and completely changed the way I look at food."
