Each session features a shared meal prepared as a group using recipes from a beloved, classic cookbook. This class is led by Convivium Urban Farmstead’s Culinary Resource Director, Chef Cena, and centers on Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child, Simone Beck, and Louisette Bertholle. Instructions, ingredients, and recipes are provided; you’re welcome to bring your own copy of the book, but it’s not required. Designed for both novice and experienced cooks, this class is about building skills, cooking with confidence, and enjoying a great meal together.Instructor Cena Sharp, Convivium Urban Farmstead’s Culinary Resource Director, is a talented chef and a true force of nature. Whether she’s leading one of her many cooking classes, processing harvests in the training kitchen, or gearing up for her next Lunch and Learn, Cena brings energy, enthusiasm, and a passion for sharing everything she knows about food.She began her culinary career at the age of sixteen and went on to serve as executive chef in two kitchens. Along the way, she also earned a bachelor’s degree in history—a field she loves to intertwine with food in her engaging Lunch and Learn presentations.Cena is an avid traveler, having explored Italy, Greece, France, and many parts of the U.S. Her travels continually inspire her creativity and deepen her appreciation for global cuisine. When she’s not at Convivium, Cena enjoys spending time with her husband, Ryan, and their four children: Dominic, Fiona, Evolette, and Sylvia.SLIDING SCALEConvivium is a nonprofit committed to helping increase accessibility to the tools and knowledge of how to grow and prepare your own food.
