For the new content and hands-on instruction Chef Jacob and his staff offer, as well as the camaraderie of other chefs and food enthusiasts, I highly recommend the "Boot Camp" program.

Boot Camp with Chef Jacob and his team was one of the best cooking experiences I have had. Working in teams, we got to experience all aspects of a working restaurant, and Jacob's F-STEP process is easy to use and makes even complex dishes doable for the amateur chef. My husband is thrilled with my new expertise.

As a "home cook" I have taken many courses in culinary skills including the Culinary Institute of America's basic boot camp and one week Bistro courses, as well as most of the Stella Culinary series on line.

I had reached a point where I was comfortable with most French techniques, Sous Vide, molecular gastronomy, smoking, grilling, etc. However, when Chef Jacob offered an opportunity to spend a week with him one on one in his own professional kitchen I thought it might be a unique experience. I wasn't disappointed.

Chef Jacob,

I was very impressed with the qua lit of training I received at your culinary boot camp last November. I have put that training to great use.

Culinary Boot Camp at Stella was incredible! The F-STEP approach teaches one to think like a professional. Chef Jacob and his team encouraged creativity in the classroom and kitchen. And the enthusiasm of the other students was remarkable. As a result, I'm cooking more flavorful dishes, which are executed more efficiently, and with a more "finished" presentation. As one who loves to cook, I enjoy being in the kitchen more than ever!

Before embarking to New York inn pursuit of becoming a professional Chef in January 2013, I decided to kick-start my training by attending the Stella Culinary Boot Camp & F-STEP cooking curriculum. Having dined at Stella several times, i knew the Boot Camp would provide me with the skills and talents of Chef Jacob's "Whole Food" philosophy that he incorporates into his magical dishes!

Before taking Stella's Culinary Boot camp with Chef Jacob I thought that I was pretty serious about cooking and tweaking recipes but with what I learned it took my cooking to a whole new level.  First of all the F-STEP process gives you the structure to analyze a recipe, spot potential problems and make intelligent changes. Second and more importantly it gives you the tools to create your own recipes or courses.  You can start with a protein and then brainstorm the possible cooking techniques and accompanying flavors and ingredients.

As a registered dietitian and cooking enthusiast, I enjoy learning about new foods, new flavors and new techniques. Chef Jacob's culinary bootcamp at Stella Restaurant teaches his F-STEP system for planning and prepping a dish. This is an innovative approach that expands the cook's thinking and creativity.  I greatly respect his passion about food and his commitment to teaching and honing his unique and thorough curriculum.

Chef Jacob’s F-STEP curriculum is structured in such a way that it supported my own need to think holistically about cooking, as well as, enjoy meals that are prepared and executed with thought and care.
