Family Recipe Writing is a multi-session hands-on workshop dedicated to the art of writing and testing your family recipes! Whether you want to preserve cherished culinary traditions or edit your family cookbook, this workshop is designed for participants of all skill levels. How many times have you tried your mother's recipe to find it just doesn't come out the same way, or it's missing a step, or an ingredient? Maybe you phone her six times while making it to clarify the procedure?
Through collaborative discussions, reviewing writing samples, and recipe testing, you will learn the essential components and structure of a proper recipe. You’ll gain insights on how to provide clear instructions so that your grandchildren can easily reproduce your signature dishes. We will cover vital writing techniques, including ingredient measurements, cooking methods, and tips for enhancing clarity. Additionally, we’ll discuss how to document family stories and memories associated with your recipes, making them even more special.
But writing the recipe is only the beginning! You will also have the opportunity to test your recipes by swapping them with fellow participants. Your experienced chef instructor will test and provide feedback on each student's recipe.
Come prepared to document and refine a family recipe that holds special meaning for you. We will guide you through the recipe writing and testing process, ensuring you can pass it along without errors.
Join us to learn, share, and enjoy a delicious experience with other enthusiastic home cooks! Don’t miss this chance to transform your family recipes into treasured keepsakes for years to come.

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.
