Help us welcome the newest member to our Culinary Center of Kansas City team. Rachel White is now our Culinary Curriculum Manager (better known in our world as the Dean of Deliciousness – or Dean of Delish, for short).
We’re excited to have her as part of our team and when you meet her, you’ll soon know why we say that. She has a passion for the culinary world that equals her passion for working with people.
After graduating in 2011 from the Institute of Culinary Education in New York with a Culinary Arts degree, she returned to the Kansas City area worked for 3 years at Dean and Deluca as their Catering Manager, working directly with chefs to plan menus and execute successful events. In 2015, she became the Food and Beverage Manager at Indian Hills Country Club, responsible for the overall operation of their restaurants and details of their special events. Included on her impressive resumé is time she spent dancing professionally with Tokyo Disney, Wabi Dance Co. and various other commercial and company dance work.
Rachel enjoys volunteering in the community as well, and has served as a Kemper Gala committee member and First Downs for Down Syndrome coordinator.
As Dean of Deliciousness at CCKC, Rachel will manage all of our cooking classes and recruit new instructors. She’s always open to new ideas for classes or the chance to speak with folks who think they would make a great addition to our teaching team. You can email her at rachel@kcculinary.com.
