Amelia Hard & Allison Bader
Allison Bader and
Amelia Hard have been cooking and teaching together for almost ten years,
drawing on their backgrounds in catering and restaurants to share a full range
of culinary skills in their classes. They are also known for their expertise in
matching food and wine.
Allison, who is
trained in classic French culinary techniques, co-founded and ran the kitchen at
Boston’s award-winning A Mano Catering; in addition to her formidable skills as
a chef, she loves sharing tips on how to prep ahead when entertaining, so that
you can enjoy your dinner as much as your guests do. Amelia learned to cook
from her Italian mother, then honed her expertise in Italian cuisine as
chef/owner of Portland’s beloved Genoa Restaurant for eleven years; as a
teacher, her greatest pleasure is to share her passion for searching out the
best ingredients and then preparing them with a minimum of fuss.
Both Allison and
Amelia believe that cooking is not a mysterious skill available only to
professionals – it’s a lifelong source of creativity, fun, and satisfaction open
to anyone who loves to eat.
