Cooking Classes
Become a Nimble Cook
At Purple Kale Kitchenworks, we bring you cooking classes filled with proven strategies to transform your kitchen–whether harried and intimidating, or serene but sometimes stale–into a creative, playful space. Plus, we turn you into a more confident cook, one who knows how to slow down, taste closely, and ask smart questions, who is spontaneous and nimble, wastes less time and food, and sees the potential in each ingredient to spur on many great meals.
We host cooking classes in our Brooklyn kitchen studio or online.
