Feedback from Chef Henry’s past cooking classes:

“Wonderful class!  Enjoyed meeting new people and reacquainting with people I have seen in class but didn’t have a chance to get to know.  REALLY LIKED THE DESSERT Henry served.  Really.  Henry outdid himself!”

“Enjoyable time spent with people who are interested in cooking. Food was delicious and chef/instructor offered good twists to recipes.”

“Aways a fun experience to see Henry in action and to visit with friends while enjoying the fruits of his labors.”

Chef Henry Miller

Chef Henry Miller is owner and chef of “Two if by Sea,” a local hangout in Tilghman that has been offering its guests home-cooked meals since Henry Miller established it in 2008. After many years in catering (which he still does for special events on the island) and working in other well-known establishments, the Culinary Institute of America-trained chef found that it was time to make his dream come true and establish a place that attracts those who live, work, play or visit the island looking for a place dedicated to good food and friendship. Occupying what used to be the old general store, Two if by Sea is in many ways a throwback to the “good old days.” The island folk, both full time and part time, use this as a meeting place on the island where they can chat about happenings both local and national. Surrounded by the work of local artisans, a library of cook books, and a great collection of antique cookie jars, you are taken back to a period of time where life moved a bit more slowly and people had time to discuss the events of the day.
