About Dana M
I strive to teach people who say "I'm a terrible cook" and show them that they are, in fact "A great cook!" By taking the intimidation out of the client's mindset, I am able to provide lesson that are customized and start everyone - no matter how much experience they have - the basics, including:
1. Mise en place (organization before cooking)
2. Knife skills
3. Proper techniques
4. Analysis of cookware, stove and oven
5. Menu planning
6. Gastronomy
7. How to grocery shop and/or buy from farmers markets
Lessons should be fun! I am not available as a private chef for gatherings, however, I will make sure you're ready to rock n' roll! I work best with blank slates and open minds.
Admittedly, I am not a strong baker. I make a mean rum cake, but the precision of baking is best left to...well, not me.
I am a 2003 graduate of The Culinary Institute of America and currently own and operate a professional writing firm in Dennis, Massachusetts.
I enjoy watching clients learn how much aromas transform an environment along with the palate. Cooking brings people together. There is no substitute for gathering around the table and enjoying food and personal connection.
After graduating from culinary school, several friends would ask me if I could show them a few things - but quietly! I started giving private lessons as a hobby.
I am a 2003 graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park.

We have a comprehensive discussion about what the client is seeking to learn, timeline, and eventual goals. Regardless of their cooking level, I typically start lessons with basic skills, as some clients have been using improper techniques.
Mostly newlyweds or mature women - all beginners.
Look for a patient instructor. You do not want to be intimidated when learning - you deserve to be empowered and grow in confidence. There are several avenues that clients will learn about within the culinary industry.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Ask about their lesson plans. You want a structured learning experience, not a "So, what do you want to learn today?"
Pre-determine if you want the instructor to bring ingredients or if you prefer to purchase yourself.
Inquire about grocery shopping, identifying quality foods, which seasonings should be staples, refridgerator management, proper storage, cleanliness, and proper care for utensils.
