Cichetti is a culinary studio that specializes in private events in your home, at location, gourmet catering, cooking classes & coming soon wine tastings.
The Cichetti (Chi-KET-tee) Culinary Studio and Kitchen Boutique is a beautiful log cabin with a fireplace in North Muskegon, located near the bike trails, camp grounds, beaches, golf courses and Michigan's Great Adventure.
We offer cooking classes for people of all abilities, from "can't boil water", to those with some skill but wanting to expand their repertoire and hone their existing skills. Our classes seat up to 18 people and range from 1 hour lunch time mini's to 3 hour evening courses including 3-4 course meals where you bring your own beverage. You can sign up for one of our scheduled courses and make new "foodie" friends, or create your own with a private group booking. We pride ourselves on featuring seasonal and fresh local products whenever possible and supporting our local community. You can choose your level of participation, from complete 'hands-on' to strictly watching and then enjoying the delicious meal.
We will also be featuring special guest instructors and special events. The facility will be available to rent for private functions, such as anniversary or birthday parties, bridal, or baby showers or just a group of friends! The maximum number of guests is 30.
The Kitchen Boutique offers Cichetti gourmet food products such as a wide variety of Sea Salts and seasoned sea salts as well as herbs and spices, homemade pasta, many types of orzo, rice, and much much more.
We will also be featuring local talent and artists in the form of vintage and funky aprons, artwork, spice racks, lamps, books, anything having to do with food and the kitchen.
Chef Jill Hansen, Co-Owner of Cichetti and Lodge on the Lake, will give you personalized gourmet cooking classes, tailored to your specific requests. Jill has lived in Europe for 16 years, and has attended the Culinary Institute in Muskegon, MI upon her return from Europe. She revels in the preparation and enjoyment of fine food, and is constantly pursuing new recipes and cooking techniques. More information and reservation information can be seen on the Culinary Classes page on our website.
Private events have really become popular. Cichetti is the perfect location to entertain visiting business men and women, particualrly if they are from Europe or Asia, as they will revel in the European decor and menu selections. Why treat them to the typical restaurant fare when you can experience a gourmet meal at Cichetti?
We have had many visitors from the Chicago and Saugatuck areas as well, as our spices and pastas are special and hard to find.
We're thrilled to have you as our guest!
