Class Experience

In this interactive cooking class, learners will create a hearty Vegetable Soup 🥣 made famous by B. Smith. As we cook, we’ll honor the culinary contributions of Black female chefs and connect the art of cooking with history and culture.

This step-by-step class is designed for beginner and intermediate cooks, with guidance on every aspect of the recipe. From prepping ingredients to perfecting the stock/broth, students will leave with the skills and confidence to recreate this soulful soup at home. Together, we’ll chop our vegetables, learn how to make a flavorful broth, and add optional touches.

What to Expect:

A live, hands-on experience where I demonstrate every step in real time (no pre-recorded videos).

Detailed instruction, including tips for flavor and presentation.

Kitchen safety reminders, including adult supervision recommendations for using the stove and oven.

What’s Included:

🥣Ingredient and supply list provided upon enrollment.
🥣Full guidance and support throughout the session.
🥣A fun and engaging environment that celebrates culture, food, and history.

Note: Students should have basic baking or cooking experience, and an adult may need to assist with the stove or other equipment for safety.

Join us for this delicious journey into Southern soul food, where every bite tells a story.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I’m Mrs. Lisa, a professional culinary educator with nearly 30 years of experience teaching cooking, baking, and nutrition to learners of all ages, from toddlers to seniors. My love for food began as a child baking Southern classics with my grandmother, and I’ve since pursued formal training at Immaculata University (B.S. in Food and Nutrition Science, minor in Child Development) and Le Cordon Bleu Boston, as well as numerous culinary workshops.

As an instructor, I combine my expertise with a passion for making learning fun and interactive. I believe food brings people together, and my goal is to empower kids with kitchen confidence while teaching the science, culture, and joy of cooking. In this class, I’ll help your child create a delicious recipe and learn valuable life skills.

When I’m not teaching, I love traveling, hosting dinner parties, and sharing food experiences with my family. I’m so excited to welcome your child to my kitchen classroom—let’s make something amazing together!
