Meet The Instructors

The small class sizes encourage one-on-one learning and our instructors love to be in the classroom with you.

We’re pleased to also welcome great cooks and cookbook authors to teach at Kitchen Kneads’ Cooking School. We bring cooks at the top of their game to work with our students in intimate, intensive workshop sessions. Here you have the rare opportunity to learn with cooks who match your passion for baking with their own.
