Classes in My North Fork Kitchen

Come Learn to Cook in My Kitchen!

I have come to firmly believe that the best way to teach home cooking is in the domestic intimacy of a comfortable, well appointed home kitchen.

We are located in beautiful South Jamesport just 90 minutes from Midtown Manhattan.

My kitchen is warm and cozy in the evening and sun drenched during the day. Within 5 miles, we are blessed with pastured lambs, goats, chickens and duck. Fish is pulled daily from the Peconic Bay, the Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Oysters and seafood abound. We are surrounded by organic farms, orchards, and vineyards.

In the wood fired French oven we will bake artisan breads, pizzas, roast pastured meats and poultry, and braise succulent vegetables and legumes.

Together, we will:

Learn to sauté, steam and fry on the gas range.
Revive the simple traditional ways of food preservation: lactic fermentation, pickling, canning, curing, smoking and drying,
Grind whole grains in the stone mill and raise bread with wild yeast — loaves with integrity!
Roll pasta by hand on the large comfortable maple baker’s table.
Pull strudel dough on a sheet; make pies and tarts with fruits and berries from North Fork orchards and farms.
Hone our knives and sharpen our cutting skills in all workshops.

All Classes are limited to 8 participants and custom private classes can be arranged. Please email me directly at Peter (at) PeterBerley.com for arrangements.
