Culinary Concepts: An Extraordinary Cooking School provides 100 simple, yet delicious recipes as well as menu suggestions and cooking and preparation techniques that make it easy to prepare the perfect meal. Recipes include hors d’oeuvres, soups, salads, vegetables, seafood, chicken, meats, and desserts and are the favorites of the students who attend the Culinary Concepts cooking school. The school teaches a wide variety of classes for everybody from children to serious home chefs, with meals ranging from backyard barbecues to elegant events. With no particular food style, each teaching chef brings his or her own cooking specialties and many of the recipes taught have international appeal. Culinary Concepts’ main goal is to make time spent in the kitchen totally rewarding, and to help people find joy and satisfaction in cooking and in dining with friends or family once they’re through. Growing up in Nelson, New Zealand, Judith Baigent attributes her love of cooking to the fun and fragrant memories of times spent in her grandmother’s welcoming kitchen. Sharing food was family time spent together, whether growing and harvesting it from the backyard garden or preserving harvested fruits and berries for the winter. After time spent training in the culinary arts in Europe, Judith moved to Los Angeles for three years before gratefully moving to Tucson. She has two children, Timothy and Angela, as well as two grandchildren. Culinary Concepts is located in Plaza Palomino, 2930 N. Swan Road, Tucson, Arizona.
