Hi, I'm Lina! As a Speech-Language Pathologist, my unique expertise uniquely enriches the cooking classes being offered. My profound understanding of communication dynamics not only enhances the learning experience but also integrates seamlessly into the culinary journey. Whether it's guiding through the intricate steps of a recipe or fostering engaging discussions around food and culture, my background ensures a comfortable and enriching environment for all. These classes are more than just about cooking; they're an opportunity to connect, communicate, and celebrate the joy of food, making them suitable for anyone looking to simply enjoy a cooking class or to explore the fascinating intersection of language and culinary arts.
*Disclaimer: While my background as a Speech-Language Pathologist informs my approach, it's important to clarify that the cooking classes I offer are NOT speech therapy sessions nor are they related to speech therapy in any clinical or therapeutic sense. These classes are purely focused on the joy of cooking and the shared experience of creating and enjoying food together. They are designed for anyone interested in culinary arts, regardless of their background in communication or speech, offering a fun, engaging, and informative environment for all cooking enthusiasts.*
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a different, but inclusive environment where everyone can explore the wonderful world of cooking in a way that resonates with them. Whether you like to cook and eat your food or just explore and play with your food, we have the class for you! We focus on the sensory aspects of cooking - the aromas, textures, and flavors that make food preparation (and eating) an exciting adventure. Remember, within cooking, communication becomes easier for everyone…food is a love language after all!

For the Young Chefs
We all know that kids are natural explorers, and our classes for young chefs are all about expanding their senses toward discovery and fun. We use colorful, engaging, and safe methods to introduce them to the basics of cooking, emphasizing the joy and creativity in preparing and enjoying food whether it be through sensory play or actual cooking.

For the Adults
Adults in our classes will find an easing and informative atmosphere where they can be themselves and practice their culinary skills, learn new techniques, chat about, and explore diverse cuisines based off their personal preferences. We can even tackle the tedious task of grocery shopping! Whether you're a beginner or an experienced cook, our classes offer something for everyone. It’s all about the balance of fun and learning!
Accessibility and Support
Recognizing the diverse needs of our community, we ensure our classes are accessible and supportive for individuals with disabilities. Classes are individualized and designed to accommodate everyone based on their needs and preferences. Additionally, open communication is a big aspect of this class, so communication needs will always be met without judgement! You will always be provided with a welcoming, patient, and adaptive learning environment.
