Great meals begin with great ingredients, good company, and the confidence to cook them well.

At Odyssey Events’ mountaintop retreat, Chef Ted Fondulas brings his decades of culinary experience to intimate, hands-on cooking classes that blend professional technique with relaxed hospitality. Whether you’re an experienced home cook or just beginning your culinary journey, you’ll prepare exceptional food while learning skills and techniques to create the magic in your own kitchen.

These classes are more than recipes—they are about connection, discovery, and the simple pleasure of sharing food made by your own hands.

Chef Ted and Linda, the team at Odyssey Events VT, have a long history with event planning in farm-to-table affairs as well as weddings,  bachelorette cooking parties, travel odysseys, plus culinary and wine education.

Their goal is yours: creating an exceptional experience for clients, family, and friends. From world-class art in private estate venues to a simple in-house cooking class, from full-scale destination weekends to a one-night food pairing, they make party memories.

Chef Ted Fondulas has spent more than four decades sharing his passion for food. As chef and co-owner of an acclaimed Vermont restaurant, he earned national recognition from dozens of bona fide critics, including awards and acknowledgement from Food & Wine, Esquire, Condé Nast Traveler and Gault & Millau.

Today, Ted brings that same depth of knowledge to small, hands-on classes where questions are encouraged, techniques are demystified, and every guest leaves with new skills, memorable recipes, and the confidence to recreate them at home.

Cooking should be joyful, generous, and shared.
