 Camps for the 2008 school year

This fall and winter c'est si bon! is cooking up a storm! From brand new piping hot week-long camps to teacher workd days we encourage you to find yourself at home in c'est si bon!'s kitchen, bakeshop, autumn garden and everything in between.
Kid-Chefs is one segment of C’est Si Bon! Cooking School located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Owner with her husband, Rich Snover,  Dorette  graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 1983. Devoted to teaching technique rather than strictly recipes, we believe that cooking brings us closer to the heart!

Since 1997 Dorette’s passion has been teaching kid-chefs. Past camps have included the basics of American, French, Italian, and Asian cooking. Dorette has taught in France and Italy as well. Dorette’s culinary pieces have appeared in Fine Cooking and on NPR. She has appeared on Food TV and PBS. She can be found teaching le fond de cuisine at the Carrboro Farmer’s Market and, bien sur,  in her cooking school, C’est si Bon!

Dorette also leads tours to Paris, Provence and Tuscany for teens and adults interested in exploring the world through a culinary map. Between baking calzones in her wood fired oven, Dorette writes fiction.
