JoAnn Gertsman
JoAnn is never more at home than when she is in the kitchen. Drawing on her 30 years of experience in the food industry, as a restaurant owner, chef and caterer, she is able to share tips and techniques that not only result in dishes rich in flavor, but that are fun to prepare.
She earned a Blue Ribbon from the New York Cooking School. JoAnn loves to teach and has an easy and approachable manner, along with a delightful sense of humor, which have made her classes very popular and well attended. She is a mother and grandmother of three grandsons that she calls the “dessert of her life!”
Cooking Classes
We believe that cooking should not only result in a fantastic food, but should be fun! Our classes range from Cooking Basics, to provide a foundation for all cooking, to seasonal themes and international favorites.
Since the kitchen is not limited to women alone, we also teach classes for couples, parent/child, teens and children. JoAnn Gertsman, our resident chef, teaches many of the classes and we host guest chefs as well. All of our classes are guaranteed to result in a great time, delicious nibbles and new knowledge.
