If you are interested in volunteering until the end of this year, please let me know as I am looking for NEW reliable VOLUNTEERS to help with all the rest of the year classes.  All I can say, is you will learn a lot and you will enjoy yourself as I have an incredible small core of fabulous, friendly volunteers.  Due to holiday catering, I will have classes in December but not that many.

Yes, it is true I am retiring the end of December after 26 years of catering and classes.  Central Coast Culinary will be closing.  Please use your Gift Certificates now! Should they be less than the class you just pay the difference.

PS- My best classes are always the end of the year!  I hope to see you soon as I will miss you if I do not!  Love, Debbie D.

The classes posted currently are my favorites.  You should always come hungry, bring your choice of libation (no corkage fee) and expect to have a wonderful evening.  I certainly do!

Turkey prices have remained stable in fact they are supposed to be a bit less.  We will educate you as to what types of turkeys you should buy (and what Not to buy) and how to roast a turkey and make gravy!

Questions will be answered all evening and if you are a VEGETARIAN, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHICH CLASS YOU ARE TAKING.  It does not work to tell me that day as class preparation takes hours before you arrive😊

AS ALWAYS, MENUS MAY CHANGE IF THERE ARE INGREDIENT SHORTAGES OR I FIND SOMETHING I KNOW YOU WOULD LIKE BETTER! AND, regardless if you pay for your classes or have a gift certificate cancellation must be 48 hours in advance during November and December.  You must CALL 805 550 5081 AND EMAIL chefdebbiedugg@gmail.com for a class reservation with a gift certificate OR A CANCELLATION WITH ANY RESERVATION.

Celebrating 26 Years!

Welcome! More than a culinary school... catering, private parties, custom classes, kids classes and culinary trips!

 We welcome serious and casual cooks! You can relax and enjoy an evening of socializing and eating a gourmet meal prepared by an expert chef. If you prefer "hands on" we also offer classes that invite you participate. Take a cooking class and experience the creation and presentation of some of our favorite menus! We promise that you will be pampered, educated and entertained. We offer private party cooking classes, and catering on and off-site. After you enjoy a class you will be inspired to have Debbie cater your next event.

Summer kids' day cooking camps and holiday classes are always popular! Keep an eye on our schedule and sign up to receive our emails (see link below)  to receive the latest news. 

Located on Parker Street, in San Luis Obispo, Central Coast Culinary feels like a kitchen in Tuscany. Cheerful yellow walls and rustic wood furnishings make ours the perfect kitchen to inspire you. Featuring five commercial ovens and an 18-foot granite counter top, this kitchen is equipped for serious cooking!
