The New School of Cooking

This charming kitchen settled just east of Downtown Culver pays an authentic homage to classic culinary education with a modern California twist. The New School of Cooking offers a mouthwatering menu of year-round cooking classes, from the recreational (a $90 "Baking with Chocolate" course, for example) to the all-encompassing and profesional. Whether your interests lie in mastering vegetarian fare, pizza, knife skills, grilling—even artisan donuts—the school's highly qualified staff offers hands-on foodie opportunities almost every night of the week. Check the calendar for an amuse-bouche of upcoming events.
