You’ve seen their cookbooks in bookstores, you’ve read their articles and you may have even tried a hand at their culinary masterpieces in your own kitchen – but do you really know the secrets of your favorite chef? If your answer is no, wait no longer: the Arizona Biltmore Waldorf Astoria Resort will begin their second season of “Inside the Chef’s Studio” February 18. Continuing through the last weekend of April, chefs such as Joe Yonan, Food Editor at The Washington Post and author of Serve Yourself, and Christina Tosi, author of Momofuku Milk Bar Cookbook will bring their gastronomic expertise to the Valley to teach participants how to create gourmet meals in one-of-a-kind weekend cooking classes combining demonstration and hands-on learning. Open to resort guests and non-guests alike, classes are $50 per person and include the author’s cookbook and lunch (the meal prepared during the class). Space is limited.

Get your chef’s hat dry-cleaned, your apron ironed and follow the jump for the class schedule:
