Many companies and law firms have come to Chef Eric's Culinary Classroom for fun team building events. "Taking people out of their daily routine and putting them in a situation where communication and cooperation are vital, is a great way to team-build," says Chef Eric. "Throw in the tastes, aromas and beauty of delicious dishes, and you have a fantastic experience." He also hosts private cooking parties for birthdays, anniversaries and other special events. For fans and customers throughout the U.S., Chef Eric handpicks culinary tools and kitchen gadgets that he sells in his online store. He is also the creator of Chef Eric Crowley's Savory Seasonings, Sizzle and Smooth, a duo of spice blends that add the perfect amount of heat and fabulous flavor to all types of dishes. Each jar is blended by hand to ensure optimal flavor, with Sizzle adding a bit of fire to dishes and Smooth offering great flavor without that extra kick of heat. "At the Culinary Classroom, we pride ourselves on creating a positive and intimate setting for every student to explore their enthusiasm and passion for cooking, and to derive a greater sense of worth and accomplishment through their personal growth," says Chef Eric. "One of my greatest rewards is to see a student who I've trained become a very successful professional chef at a top restaurant or a thriving business owner."
