Shelly's European Specialties - Learn to make European delicacies like the professionals
Welcome to your European cooking experience!


Yes! I am a personal chef! Please call or email and I will work with you to create the perfect menu at a price you can afford! Large parties or just a dinner for two, have I got a meal for you! See the Contact and Request page for a list of recipes.


Great News! Classes can now be offered in Herington!
The Auger Inn has offered to host Shelly's European Specialties on Mondays. The schedule is by request so, send it in right away and I will try to work it in.

Shelly's European Specialties does parties! At my home or yours gather your friends, choose your menu, schedule your date and lets make some fabulous culinary memories!
And yes, parties do receive special pricing!
See the cancellation policy on the Inquiring Minds page for all the fine print.

As a student of Shelly's European Specialties you can learn from a professional mother who has spent over 17 years in Europe with the military collecting recipes from every country I visited.

Besides living in Germany and Italy I have family in the Czech Republic and friends from Greece and France. As a military daughter and wife I have also learned to make easy to prepare meals that will feed an army (or Navy) and is sure NOT to leave them wanting more; because there IS more.

Each new student will be given a Shelly's European Specialties binder in which to keep the recipes of the day handed out at the end of every class. There will be many versions of each class featuring a different group of recipes. Join me in expanding your international cookbook! Imagine being able to wow your friends and family with your new recipe! Classes cost just $25 a person and children under the age of 13 attend for free with a paying parent!
