Chefs wear shirtfront stains like medals of honor, which is why ceremonial recognition often devolves into a food fight. Grab a few marks of merit with today's Groupon to The Cooking Coach 101. Choose between the following options:

  • For $35, you get one admission to a group cooking class at Surfas Test Kitchen (a $105 value).
  • For $99, you get two private in-home cooking classes (a $210 value).

Whether ensconced in the modern technological wizardry of the Surfas Test Kitchen or amid the pots and pans of a private home, Beth Hirsch, the Cooking Coach, comfortably unveils the secrets of food, fire, and presentation in three-hour sessions. With stove and oven, her pupils summon pre-chosen dishes from a menu of themes and techniques, such as international and ethnic foods, or classic breakfast staples including waffles, french toast, and waffles stapled to french toast. Students test comprehension with recipes as Hirsch imparts the skills needed to confidently read between the lines. The lessons, which make ideal last-minute holiday gifts, touch on and reorganize each part of kitchen life, from recommendations on how to stock and stack a pantry to practical tactics for grocery and produce shopping, such as discerning which fruits are seasonable.

Under careful tutelage, the Cooking Coach’s apprentices handle all knives and preparations themselves as she dishes up important safety tips and imparts good habits of cleanliness. As a cherry on the cooked sundae, the lesson ends with plating and presentation for startlingly attractive dishes tuned to entertaining guests or breaking the news that the in-laws can’t stay forever.

The Cooking Coach 101

In a gym, a personal trainer helps people who want to learn workouts that are customized to fit their lifestyles and goals. Beth Hirsch aims to offer her clients a similarly singular experience—but in the kitchen. She's a home chef who's been cooking and entertaining for more than 30 years, in addition to experience working for caterers and restaurants. Over the years, she's met parents who resorted to feeding their kids mostly prepackaged meals and fast food because they weren't confident in the kitchen. She's taken college students and newlyweds under her wing to teach them basic kitchen skills after they headed out on their own for the first time. Inspired by helping people learn the skills they need to eat and live better, she pooled all her knowledge and started The Cooking Coach 101, an in-home cooking school.

For each lesson, Beth paraglides to her clients' kitchens to teach them whichever kitchen skills they'd most like to learn. Her repertoire includes knife skills, how to make basic sauces, basic baking, and how to create all sorts of ethnic dishes, from Italian to Moroccan. She'll also take a look at their pantries and kitchens to help them get properly organized, as well as teaching them how to read recipes, create a meal plan, and shop for groceries effectively. For those who'd rather learn in a group, Beth also leads group classes inside Surfas Restaurant and Gourmet Food.

The Groupon Guide to: Receiving a Home Visit from a Cable or Satellite Technician

Rarely—very rarely—in your adult life, you may be called upon to receive an unusual stranger in your home. Do not be alarmed by their well-worn uniforms and arsenal of strange tools—they are a representative from the company that provides you with television and Internet service.

In the rare—very rare—event that your cable or Internet briefly ceases working, one of these ragged strangers may arrive on your doorstep. Do not panic. Do not spray them with your hose, still connected from checking on the garden during the free time resultant from your Internet outage. Invite them in. You are expecting them, even if you do not remember.

Do not offer them food, water, or coffee—they are instructed not to take it, and this will make the situation uncomfortable for both of you. If you wish, you may look them in their eyes. Despite the rest of their outward appearance, you will see they have two, beautiful eyes.

Quickly they will set to work, repairing the machines that bring invisible electric signals into your home that help you and your family laugh, love, and share your lives with friends all over the world. Repairs will be brisk and complete, and you will never know the technician's name or have need of them again.

In the rare—very rare—event that your repair visit is somehow delayed, incomplete, or frustrating in anyway, please be assured that this has never happened before, nor will it again. The technician who disappointed you has already been vaporized in the shame chamber. Thank you for choosing Cable, Satellite & Internet.

Which cable provider vaporizes its most disappointing employees?
