All our classes focus on proper technique and seasonal ingredients. We offer part time professional cooking and baking programs throughout the year, which give students the training they need to become professional chefs or to cook like professionals. The professional series are designed to fit within the schedules of working people and meet once a week for four hours.

We have a huge variety of recreational classes including ethnic classes, skill-building classes and ingredient-based classes. We also offer summer cooking camps for kids and teens. All classes are hands-on, so students truly learn through participation. We have daytime classes, evening classes and weekend classes to suit every schedule, and most recreational classes run for three hours.

We are located one block south of Venice Boulevard at 8690 Washington Boulevard in Culver City, across from the historic Helms Bakery building. We are seconds away from the Robertson and Fairfax/Washington exits off the Santa Monica Freeway and have plenty of parking.
