Meet Chef Kara!
Hello! I am Chef Kara and I am a work-at-home, stay-at-home, homeschool mother who is married to a former chef and restaurant guru. With a duel bachelor's degree in Elementary and Early Childhood Education, I love working with and teaching children of all ages. Cooking and baking in the kitchen with my family, trying out new recipes, and eating my husband's yummy dishes are just a few of my favorite things. Though I am not a chef with formal training, I have a love for real foods, making healthy eating choices, and "playing" in the kitchen. Because I wasn't raised in a family of "foodies" who try new foods or cook things 'from scratch,' I learned how to prepare foods myself well after college. Therefore I have a passion for sharing the knowledge and fun of cooking with children. I have been a CCI instructor for 3 years and have enjoyed the journey! I can't wait to get cookin' with your kiddos!

Meet Chef Matt!
This is my husband, Chef Matt. He's a former Ritz Carlton chef and has managed, trained, catered, wrote menus, and much more at several restaurants around the valley. He's cooked for presidents, actors, rock stars, politicians, friends, and of course, his family. Chef Matt grew up helping cook and prepare food in his home as a child, so you can often find him and his family gathered in the kitchen cooking or enjoying a delicious, homemade meal together. Occasionally Chef Matt offers workshops or guest teaches during Chef Kara's classes. Be on the look out, because you do not want miss out!
*Chef Matt will be offering teen and adult workshops soon. Stay tuned for his schedule of classes.
