Virtual cook-alongs
We’re not in one place,
we can still connect.
From kitchen-to-kitchen and table-to-table, we can share time, laugh, tell stories and prepare the same meal, whether we’re across the country or just across town. What I do is bring your family, friends, audience or team together and leave them just a little closer.
I believe every day gives us the opportunity to connect and find joy. We find ourselves in a time where that is more important than ever for all of us as family, friends and professionals.
Why this and why now?
I’ll work the details, from menu planning to tech support, so that you don’t have to worry about a thing. From there, it’s all fun! Clients value my storytelling, humor and warmth. This is more than just a cooking class - it’s a connection and an experience.
Why choose Jonathan?
“The food is simple and comforting, but then you finish and it’s the best thing you’ve ever cooked!”
- Jason Vendel
What is a virtual cook-along? Using a virtual meeting platform, I’ll lead you in preparing a meal. We’ll share stories and learn about the ingredients, handy kitchen techniques and delicious recipes.
How does it work? I will work with you to design a menu. I can easily work with most dietary restrictions and preferences, and design menus to work with various skill levels, grocery availability and equipment in the kitchen.
I do all the work (except for the cooking!) Your team will receive the menu and an organized grocery list 7-10 days ahead of time, offering plenty of time to shop. The menu includes any prep steps needed before the event begins. Then it’s time to cook! During the event, I will walk you through the recipes step by step.
What sets my events apart?
Team-effort: While I’ll be in the kitchen, a camera person will be offering dynamic coverage so you don’t miss a thing, plus an event concierge will monitor chat and tech support so things are as smooth behind the scenes as they are on camera.
Interaction: I’ll make sure everyone gets to join in - “Tell us a great culinary travel story!” While having fun, everyone will get to know a little more about each other.
Have I seen you before? Over the past nine years I has cooked with more than 750 live audiences across the US from farm markets to corporate events and private homes. Appearing regularly on ABC, CBS and FOX, my new tv series debuts this year on Amazon Prime Video. My three cookbooks are available online at JonathanBardzik.com.
