She was organized and instructive re: techniques and provided interesting information about the ingredients we used.

Cook More. Shop Less. Waste Nothing!
Teaching Table aims to inspire others to use what they have to cook foods that are better for their bodies, their families, and their communities. The table I grew up around inspired curiosity, challenge, and an appreciation for food. At Teaching Table, we believe in sourcing ingredients locally to sustain our earth and community. Our classes empower you to make health-supportive decisions while honoring that food should taste delicious.
We believe in creating positive participant experiences. So, when you gather around the Teaching Table, you will learn techniques to turn seasonal, locally sourced ingredients into tasty and nourishing meals everyone will enjoy. You will ask questions and challenge yourself and walk away with recipes and tools for your culinary tool belt.
Teaching Table classes are intentionally small, intimate learning experiences so that you get hands-on practice and personalized attention. Menus and instruction are tailored to participants’ dietary needs and preferences, cooking skills, and goals.
