Cooking classes
with Chef Selman.
Good food starts with a little curiosity.
Join me for seasonal flavors, real kitchen skills, and the simple joy of cooking.
Teaching in the Washington, DC area since 2011
Cook something good today.
Good cooking starts here.
Hands-on learning, a relaxed kitchen, and skills you’ll use every day.

A little skill. A lot of confidence.
I’m back at Sur La Table at Pike and Rose part time and teaching our Knife Skills classes.
To me, there is no more important kitchen skill than learning how to use your knives properly. Once you become comfortable, any prep you do will be that much easier and hopefully more pleasant.
A little summer inspiration.

Meet Chef Mike.
My love affair with food and cooking dates back to childhood. I learned basic survival culinary skills by trial and error in college…not always successfully. My passion and expertise developed as I cooked for family and friends and had done private catering for almost twenty years.
The only thing I enjoy more than food and cooking is sharing my passion in teaching others how to cook.
