Hi, I’m Chef Evangalene! I teach sourdough cooking and baking you can actually take home: you get a starter in the bread class, you work with the dough in all of them, ask questions as they come up, and leave knowing what to do next when you get home.
Choose a public class when you want a scheduled seat. Choose a private experience when you want the kitchen for your own people.
Take a scheduled public class, or reserve a private pasta or sourdough experience for your own people. Every path below takes you directly to the right details.
Public sourdough classes currently start at $95 per person in bread, and $120 per person in pasta making class. Private packages use live guest-count pricing; your preferred date is confirmed after checkout.
Meet me in the kitchen, Chef Evangalene
Yes—the teacher makes the difference.
I show you exactly what to do, explain the science behind why it works, and give you the space to try it yourself. If your dough feels a bit off or your pasta shape needs adjusting, I can answer you in the moment—so you leave with confidence you can take right back to your own kitchen.
I teach the why behind the recipeUnderstand the core technique, not just a list of steps.
I help in real timeGet personalized guidance from me as you practice.
I teach for your own kitchenLeave knowing exactly how to recreate your success at home.
Albuquerque Cooking & Baking Education
Are there cooking or baking schools in Albuquerque?
Albuquerque offers excellent culinary training options, such as the Culinary Arts certificate programs at CNM, which can be completed in an accelerated 12-week summer term. I occupy a distinct place in that landscape: I teach boutique, hands-on cooking experiences for families, adults, solo travelers, and beginners who want practical skills they can master today and use at home tomorrow.
I run an interactive class studio—not a degree-granting or vocational culinary school. You’ll learn how to cook today.
Join me to master sourdough, fresh pasta, gluten-free baking, cinnamon rolls, and artisanal focaccia in focused, standalone workshops. You can book an individual date that fits your schedule rather than enrolling in a semester-long professional academic program.
I use focused workshopsBook a single, standalone experience with me instead of a multi-month academic track.
Practical for beginners & pros alikeI tailor the experience for home cooks and bakers building their foundation.
I teach real-world techniquesLearn practical skills designed to translate perfectly to your own kitchen. That’s the point: cook good things for and with the people you love. ❤️
