About the Courageous Cooking School:

At the Courageous Cooking School we know that 1) you are trustworthy. Our kitchen is your kitchen. 2) Your intuition is better than any book. You know what you’re doing –even if you don’t realize it just yet. 3) You can cook. In fact, if you enjoy eating, you’re naturally inclined to be great at cooking. Maybe not baking…but cooking? Heck yeah.

Our Chefs, Cooks, and Curriculum Director have tested and crafted what we believe to be the most beautiful way to teach cooks of all stripes how to create, explore, and play with food.

The goal of the Courageous Cooking School? To teach anyone, and yes we mean ANYONE, to cook from the hip and develop the skills that will make cooking pleasurable for years to come.
