Our classes aren't just about reading a recipe off the page. You can get that anywhere! This is a fully immersive, hands-on experience where you learn the why behind the flavors. We teach you how to choose the freshest ingredients, how to master traditional techiniques, and how to cook with intuition and passion. You come in as a student, but you sit down at our communal table as a family to enjoy the feast we created together.

Amy’s true passion for cooking came from watching her grandmother and mother in the kitchen before she was even tall enough to reach the kitchen counter.  Chef Amy loves to create special dishes by infusing new flavors into traditional and Southern dishes. Her passion for cooking, consistent quality, and strive-for-perfection attitude are apparent in all of her creations.
