It was as if they were magicians. All these bits and pieces of food would be brought together and then, suddenly, from my viewpoint, there would be delicious things to eat. There was also an artistry to it that spoke to me \u2013 to make edible art that also makes people happy. I had to learn these superpowers on my own. I was also fortunate to be a Girl Scout where I had numerous opportunities to learn the magic called \u201ccooking.\u201d Cooking has become part of how I express myself.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>How does your background in the film industry translate to your current role at Fry\u2019s? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was a special effects artist in the film industry where I built hard models (a k a physical structures) on set before computers were used, super old school. The work requires a fantastic combination of skills. Design, art, carpentry, sculpture and welding, just to name a few. Beyond the technical skills I learned, I think the most valuable skills I gained were problem solving, communication and teamwork. Running the Fry\u2019s Cooking School and teaching requires all of these skills: explaining a recipe to new cooks, keeping the process on the right track and working together to make something delicious. I view food as another art form. It\u2019s part science, part technical skills, and a lot of creativity! So, the transition from film design to chef instructor isn\u2019t as big of a shift as some people may think.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Tell us about your experience owning your own coffee and bake shop.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, it was both wonderful and overwhelming. It was a lot of moving parts to keep going, but I am so glad I did it. I loved the community. As a small local shop, I had the chance to get to know my customers and be a part of their lives beyond a good cup of Joe and a pastry. It was probably what I liked most about owning my own shop. I enjoyed being able to put on events, sponsor activities and support local needs in the community. I was lucky to also have the privilege of sharing the simple joy of food.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A moment I treasure in my shop was watching a young girl who has severe diet restrictions get to eat a cupcake for the first time because we catered to special dietary needs. It was a tough decision to step away from my business, but the right call at the time. It ultimately led me to my current position at the Fry\u2019s Cooking School, a job I very much enjoy doing. I am fortunate to interact with so many wonderful people every day.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Tell us about Fry\u2019s Signature Marketplace Cooking School and your role there.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Fry\u2019s Cooking School is open to everyone and most classes are hands-on. \u00a0We also do birthday parties, corporate team building and charity events. Tuesday afternoons are dedicated to our Junior Chef After School Program for kids ages 7 to 12. We also offer additional classes for kids during school breaks. This summer kids participated in the \u201cCook the Books\u201d program where they made recipes from their favorite books, such as Harry Potter.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wednesday through Sunday we offer a variety of adult classes from Sunday Date Nights and holiday-themed dinners to knife skills and cast-iron cooking. There\u2019s something for everyone to enjoy. Thursdays is our Supper Club class which is demonstration style. Attendees get to sit back and indulge in a little wine while we cook dinner for them. We\u2019ve also added wine cellar events where we create a five-course wine pairing dinner. I\u2019m very excited about the upcoming Jan. 24 class where we\u2019ll have the wine maker from Grgich Winery at the event to chat with attendees about wine making and pairing.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m responsible for all aspects of the Fry\u2019s Cooking School including writing the schedules, menus, recipes and, of course, teaching the classes. I am also very lucky to have a fantastic assistant, Chef Emily, to assist me. Besides teaching classes, she helps keep me on track and manages social media for the school.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>What are your favorite classes to teach? Would you say you have a specialty? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am a pastry chef, so I lean toward the baking classes. The best classes are those that require full participation and interaction with our guests. I love when they get excited, ask a lot of questions, go off on unexpected tangents and really get into the cooking experience. Sharing a passion for food is what it\u2019s about.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>How does teaching junior classes differ from the others?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like teaching the Junior Chef classes. In some ways, they\u2019re easier to teach than adults, once they overcome the initial \u201cshy\u201d phase. The kids that come to class want to be there because they are interested and excited about cooking. They are eager to learn and show you what they can do. There is a different rhythm with kids. It takes an extra breath or pause while they absorb the information, you can\u2019t rush the process.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>As we head into Christmas, what rules-of-thumb or advice do you have for home chefs?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have a plan but be open to change. Something unforeseen can come up and you will have to adjust. This happens quite often in the chef world. Don\u2019t panic and review your plan to see what can be altered at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t try a recipe for the first time at a holiday dinner. Leave that multi-step fancy item for another time.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do your prep work and make any dishes you can ahead of time. The less you have to do the day of, the easier everything will flow.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try not to add unnecessary stress to the occasion. Even though food is a big part of our family and friends\u2019 gatherings the most important part is just being with each other. And lastly, enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Get to know Executive Chef Omei Eaglerider (also known as Chef O) of Fry\u2019s Signature Marketplace Cooking School.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":20122,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4971,5577,5578,5582,9931,9932],"class_list":["post-20121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-phoenix-food-and-restaurant-news","tag-featured","tag-frys-cooking-classes","tag-frys-cooking-school","tag-frys-signature-marketplace-cooking-school","tag-omei-eaglerider","tag-omei-eaglerider-frys-signature-marketplace-cooking-school","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Chef Chat: Omei Eaglerider (Chef O) of Fry&#039;s Signature Marketplace Cooking School<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Get to know Executive Chef Omei Eaglerider (also known as Chef O) of Fry&#039;s Signature Marketplace Cooking School.
