Yep, we got this…
We are dedicated to promoting the understanding of food and cooking through well executed, informative and interactive classes in the culinary arts with our goal that each customer be enriched by their experience in our kitchens and thus, not afraid to take “whisks” in their own. (See what we did there?)
Our culinary instructors represent some of the best & brightest culinary educators in the industry. We make sure of it. Heck, there’s more experience among this group than you can shake a stick at… or a spatula, if you are so inclined.
From cooking basics to trending culinary topics and entertainment-style classes, our dynamic schedule offers something for cooks at any level of expertise and for any age. Whether you want to sit back and watch, roll up your sleeves and get in on the action or just dabble a little for fun, we have the perfect class for you.

Summer is coming! It’s time to make plans for the kids while they’re on summer break. We have a wide variety of classes and camps available – Li’l Kids in the Kitchen (for ages 5-8) and Junior Chefs in the Kitchen (for ages 9-14). There are 3-day camps, Monday – Wednesday, and on several Thursdays we offer classes so that you can extend the camp experience. There are also oodles of individual cooking classes available.
Do you like to cook? Do you like to hang out with fun “foodies”? Do you wait by your computer for our new classes to go online? If you answered “Yes!” to any of these, then you might make a great addition to our Volunteer Foodie Crew.
