Become a Nimble Cook
At Purple Kale Kitchenworks, we bring you proven strategies to transform your kitchen–whether harried and intimidating, or serene but sometimes stale–into a creative, interactive space from which excellent food flows effortlessly. 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 vary classes each season to meet the interests of both beginner and advanced cooks and of past and future students. Click on the pictures below to learn more.
