Q&A: Throughout the session students will have the opportunity to ask any questions they have regarding food preparation, the food industry, what it’s like to work in a kitchen as a chef. ** Please notify us of any potential allergies prior to class** Schola is a result of Chefs Amy von Lange and Jerry Pellegrino's passion for not only cooking but for sharing their kitchen with others and teaching their craft in the process. With over twenty-five years of experience between them, the classes they teach at Schola are hands-on, informative, intimate and fun.
