Summer Cooking Classes for Adults & Kids

What is a Cooking Club?

A cooking club is a group of people who gather together on a regular or semi-regular basis to take on a large cooking project or explore an unfamiliar cuisine. As mentioned, the benefits are usually to share labor and ingredients. Other reasons are that one person may have expertise in a certain area that she is willing to share with others, or perhaps the project asks for a very specific piece of equipment that very few people own, but someone in your group has. 

But really, the main reason is that there’s enormous fun to be had when a group of people gather together, roll up their collective sleeves, and get something delicious done.

The mission of The BodyX Cooking Club is to bring food lovers together to celebrate the art of cooking, increase our knowledge of skills, techniques, and recipes, and cook delicious meals from all countries and cultures.

Next Meeting - Monday, April 15th.

WE WILL BE ACCEPTING A FEW MORE Members! Meetings will be at 5:30pm and will cost $15 to all participants plus materials.

Monthly dates and prices for the cooking club will be determined at the introductory meeting based on the culinary ingredients, education and equipment that will be used to complete each project.

Maximum participants - 10
