About Us

“The true home cooked meal, prepared at home from scratch, has quickly become a lost art in a day and age where convenience and speed has overtaken our lives.”

COOK is a home-grown recreational cooking school geared specifically to provide practical instruction and guidance on food, nutrition and basic culinary techniques to everyday folks who:

  • Have never cooked before but want to learn some practical kitchen basics that they can build on
  • Are seasoned home cooks who have found themselves caught in a cycle of cooking the same things week-in and week-out
  • Like to cook but lead busy lives and want to learn ways to prepare nutritious meals at home that don’t take a lot of time.
  • Are recreational cooks who just enjoy entertaining at home, learning new recipes and meeting other people who enjoy the same

Our classes at COOK are taught by instructors who were raised in environments where home cooking was an everyday occurrence and have since spent years using their cooking skills and knowledge outside of the home. Unlike formal culinary schools or continuing education courses that require a long-term commitment of time and money, COOK provides the convenience of a wide variety of individual cooking classes that are structured to encompass the entire cooking topic in a single class session so students only have to commit to spending a few hours on any given day to expand their cooking know-how.

All you have to bring is your interest in cooking, willingness to try something new and best of all, your appetite, because every class ends with a meal you get to enjoy. By the way, the fun you’ll have in class is on us, too!

Our Mission:

  • Cooking and Entertaining instruction
  • Create Kitchen Traditions
  • Food and Nutrition Guidance

The true home cooked meal, prepared at home from scratch, has quickly become a lost art in a day and age where convenience and speed has overtaken our lives. Due to this growing trend, it has become difficult for households to find the time to cook at home on a regular basis so that home cooking in general has gone by the wayside.

Kitchen traditions and skills that would previously have been passed down from parent to child is becoming a thing of the past. As a result, young adults who are ready to go out on their own, newly married couples, professional singles and even couples who have been together for years are finding themselves intimidated or at a loss when it comes to preparing a meal that doesn’t involve a box mix or the microwave!

We at COOK want to bring back those family traditions and provide those practical skills to anyone who wants to learn. Learning to cook and preparing a wonderful meal should be an enjoyable experience you will want to share with others instead of a chore you dread every day. Let us at COOK tap into your “inner foodie” and help you find your joy in cooking. It’s why we’re here and it’s what we love to do!
