A bit about me!
VALERYE STROCHAK
I’ve taught baking off and on for the past 15 years, both privately in my home and at North Bethesda Middle School in the afterschool program. Three years ago, I began in earnest to teach baking through my neighborhood association. In the summer of 2016, I started a summer baking camp, teaching students in my gourmet kitchen. The camp proved wildly popular, so I expanded it in the summer of 2017 from five weeks to eight weeks—offering both Beginner and Advanced levels.
Today, I also teach in the afterschool program at Westland Middle School, and in the summer of 2018, I will add a “Challenge Camp” for those who have taken my Advanced Camp.
I completed a nine-month semi-professional program and a three-week Cake Decorating course at L'Academie de Cuisine (in Bethesda) and a puff pastry course at King Arthur Flour's Educational Center (in Vermont). I have cooked countless meals for my church, my kids’ sports teams and charitable events. While I enjoy cooking and catering, baking remains my first love. When I’m not baking, I’m usually thinking about baking or reading baking recipes.
