SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - Beginning Thursday, September 3, 2020 at 5pm, (and also scheduled for future Thursdays at 5pm) well-respected Sacramento foodie, Paulette Bruce reinvents her popular Good Eats Cooking Classes with weekly highly anticipated online classes designed to appeal to everyone, from beginners to home chefs who know their way around the kitchen. 

"With the COVID-19 Shelter-in-Place order, my live classes had to close in March 2020.” said Bruce. "I had been asked many times by friends and family to begin teaching online classes as this new way of learning began to gain momentum and with help from Dane Henas Design and Penny Sylvia Photography it's come to fruition.” 

Utilizing four cameras positioned in her home kitchen, Bruce will offer recipe instruction with the added bonus of two way communication… members will be able to ask questions as she demonstrates each step of the recipe process.

(Classes are typically one hour with an optional interactive prep time starting 15 minutes before class)

“During this time I can observe what the members doing, give advice and answer their questions so they’re completely prepared when the class starts," Bruce said.

Some of the classes each month will be live on Zoom while others will be recorded and, like all the classes, available for viewing to current members, as long as their membership remains active.

During August, Bruce has hosted dry runs on Zoom using a test group and has launched a new web site — goodeatscookingclasses.com   

The first of three classes began on September 3 of this month, with September featuring an emphasis on Italian cuisine. The concept is structured around monthly memberships.

The cost for monthly membership is only $29 per month, which includes:

2 Live, interactive classes via Zoom; 2 Recorded classes; Recipes and a list of recommend kitchen tools; Bonus content & access to a private Facebook members page; Weekly blogs filled with tips, techniques, recipes and more

The FAQ section on the web site answers all pertinent questions and includes a link to submit further questions and a tutorial on downloading, installing and using Zoom. As with her in-person classes, these online classes will be characterized by Bruce’s larger than life, affable personality that, over the decades, has built a large, faithful following.

"I love what I do. I love to bring people together and teach them something they never thought possible to do on their own. My classes are always fun and informative. I’m invested in creating more confident and better cooks, and during this challenging time, members can achieve that in the safety of their own homes," Bruce said.
