Join us for a fun and flavorful Virtual Cooking Class designed for cooks of all ages and skill levels! Each session features easy to follow video instructions or recipe links that guide students step by step in creating delicious, fool proof dishes. Our focus is on building confidence in the kitchen with recipes that are simple, tasty, and easy to re create long after class is over.
Students will cook at their own pace from the comfort of home, and each week well explore new techniques, ingredients, and meal ideas. To receive attendance credit, participants will submit a photo of their finished dish along with a short review of how it tasted.
Whether you’re just getting started or looking to expanse your recipe collection, this virtual class offers a relaxed, supportive, and delicious way to learn.

*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
