Regent Seven Seas Cruises has revealed 16 new Culinary Arts Kitchen classes that will debut during the 2020 inaugural season of Seven Seas Splendor.
The two-hour classes were designed by Kathryn Kelly, the cruise line's executive director of culinary enrichment. Chef Kelly, a Culinary Institute of America graduate, has spent 40 years traveling to explore the cuisines across the world and the cultures that created them. She and other master instructors teach the classes.
She said: ?Our curriculum appeals to a broad range of tastes and caters to all experience levels, from beginner to seasoned chefs, delivered in the most advanced teaching kitchen on the seas.
?We teach the culinary techniques that chefs use every day, build a recipe and skills repertoire that can be easily transferred to guests? home kitchens, explore cuisines, spices, recipes and ingredients from our ports of call, and most of all, have fun together sharing stories with people who enjoy cooking.
?When I was younger, we used to go to friends? homes and they would pull out their projector and tell us about their trip through pictures. Today, our guests can share their cruise experiences at home by cooking meals for their friends that represent the destinations they explored during the voyage.?
The new classes will be expanded to Seven Seas Explorer in April 2020.
Guests attending the classes will receive highly individualised instruction, as each student will cook from their own personal workstation for authentic, hands-on training, and see close-up details on large-screen monitors. Eighteen individual cooking stations sit atop three long curved rows. The workstations are fully equipped with induction cooktops, steel sinks and a collection of cooking essentials. The culinary centre also features floor-to-ceiling windows to offer magnificent ocean vista views from its perch on Deck 11.
