Students cook together and sit down to enjoy everything on the menu. Classes typically start at 11am and end at 1:30pm. 

You will take home:

  • A packet of 6-7 easy, weeknight recipes
  • Tips for planning and shopping for weeknight meals
  • Helpful kitchen and knife skills knowledge

Here’s what people say about Smart in the Kitchen classes:

Thank you so much for welcoming us into your home and for the class last week with Zillow.  It was so fun and special and we had a really good time!  I even caught myself using one of your knife skills last night while chopping veggies – holding the back of the blade for a better grip and control.  Thanks!  — Samantha Snow

Marcia, thank you so much for a wonderful class yesterday! Your food is absolutely delicious, but it is the approachable manner and ease in which you present the task of cooking that I am in awe of! Thank you for the inspiration of both food and spirit!!

— Chandler Sulton
