In Cindy’s cooking classes students learn new recipes and skills that you can use later at home, or see if cooking is a career goal for you. Cindy offers garden to table cooking and nutrition classes for children of all ages and adults available. Please contact Cindy for private group lessons.

In these hands-on workshops you’ll learn about cooking with seasonal, locally grown foods. We will create delicious, healthy foods and then enjoy our culinary creations together. Come learn new cooking and knife skills. Then you will create delicious meals and snacks as a group. Students finish the class by eating together.
