Gwynnie Penny’s Pantry

My teaching method is welcoming, making it easier for individuals to learn new skills. With my prior experience as a training chef, I endeavor to create a relaxed environment for my students. Additionally, having owned a restaurant, graduated from culinary school, and apprenticed with Cooks Illustrated Magazine, I bring a vast amount of experience to each class. With my hands-on approach, students will be guided through each step of their chosen recipes or culinary style, while also learning by doing. I especially enjoy working with young adults and their parents, as it is a great opportunity to bond while teaching an extremely useful life skill.

My passion for cooking and creating stemmed from my love of feeding the people I love, and that still holds true today as a mother of three. Cooking is not inherently difficult, but it does require patience, organization, proper ingredients, good tools, and did I mention patience?

As a personal chef, I offer a wide range of services, including private dinners for up to 20 guests, catering for baby or wedding showers, weekly cooking for families or seniors, and even delivering a hearty Tuscan soup or savory lasagna to help make meal planning easier. For those with busier schedules, I am available to come and cook for couples several times a week (limited to Cape Cod). With many options at reasonable fees, I strive to make life a little bit easier for my clients.
