5-2-2011 - New Castle News: Cruisin' the County - Dishing Out Good Stuff Chef's Style
May 21, 2011 | Author Chef Tim
Recently, the Little Chef’s Kids and Family Cooking class that I teach at the New Castle Community YMCA was featured in the Cruisin’ the County column in the New Castle News. The image here is as good as I could make it from scanning the newspaper, but if you would like to read the article, please click here.
The kids and parents all had a good time while the reporter was there. Then, the following week, the photographer from the New Castle News came by to take some more photos of the class. The reporter, Lugene Hudson, wrote the article while we were making Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies and the photographer, Erica Galvin took photos of the class as we were making a Strawberry Parfait so in case you happen to wonder about the pictures not exactly matching the recipe that the reporter is talking about, that is why.
The Little Chef’s Kids and Family Cooking Class meets every Wednesday through June 1, 2011 from 5 to 6 PM in the Community Room of the New Castle Community YMCA. Summer Classes will be posted as they become scheduled and we will resume a regular, weekly class schedule when the Fall Sessions begin at the YMCA at the beginning of the 2011 – 2012 school year.

Chef Tim Featured in Personal Chef Magazine
January 1, 2011 | Author Chef Tim
Chef Tim is the featured chef in the January – March 2011 edition of Personal Chef Magazine!
From dishwasher to head chef to soap maker to personal chef, Personal Chef Tim Hering has had a varied and eclectic career path. But no matter what he was doing, the kitchen and the opportunity to provide healthy, tasty food, always called to him.

Why Tim decided to become a Personal Chef
Of his experience prior to becoming a personal chef, Tim says, “I’ve almost always worked in restaurants. I started as a dishwasher when I was 13 in order to make money to go to summer camp and quickly became one of the cooks in that restaurant. I managed a variety of pizza places while in college, and while I love pizza, I’ve always loved to cook a wide variety of dishes. I attended the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute in 1999 and since then I’ve worked with various chefs in the Pittsburgh area in positions such as Roundsman, Kitchen Manager, and as Head Chef. At one point I developed a new breakfast and dinner menu for a pizza place that wanted to add a dining room and menu to their existing pizza and subs selection.”
Regarding sales and marketing experiences, Tim said, “I worked in telemarketing and tried my hand at working retail at Circuit City. I quickly realized that continuing to try to sell someone something after they said “no” was not something I was good at! While being a personal chef also involves sales and marketing, the difference now is that I truly believe in the value of what I do and am more willing to tell people all about it. Magazines and small electronics just didn’t do it for me.”

Interactive Cooking Parties are All the Rage!

Interactive Cooking Parties are All the Rage!
Dinner Magician offers In Home Cooking Classes! Whether you want a private lesson or you want to invite a group of people to your home for an Interactive Cooking Party or a Cooking Demonstration, I can come up with a menu, a lesson plan and will come to your home on the specified date ready to turn you into a chef! After your lesson, you will have a fantastic meal and will be ready to wow all your friends with what you have learned!
Classes can be structured in several ways… You can opt to have a cooking demonstration where I prepare all the food and you sit, with your relaxing beverage of choice, and watch. Kind of like bringing the cooking show from your tv into your kitchen! Depending upon the space you have, your group can be as large as 30 people, but you’d need to have a very large kitchen! This usually works best with no more than 12 to 16 people.
Or, you can invite up to 16 of your friends (depending on the space in your kitchen, this usually works best with no more than 12, and usually better with 8 to 10) and throw a party! Everyone will be placed into groups, the recipes will be divided up and I will be there to demonstrate each step in the process, but you and your friends will actually be the ones doing the cooking!
Give me a call at 724-498-0434 or send me an email to chef...@dinnermagician.com to request a date!
