Classes
All cooking classes are approximately 3 hours in length. We will provide aprons and cutting boards for you! Please wear clothes that you don’t mind getting messy.
Most classes involve partial participation, but if you wish to observe, that is perfectly fine! At the end of class we all sit down together and enjoy the foods we prepared. After each class you leave with a packet of recipes and the skills to show off your own delicious culinary creations!
Each class is $65 per student. Classes are offered at 11:00 am and 4:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays of each week; please see our calendar for details! There are 4 classes total per weekend. Space is limited in Spork Foods home kitchen in Silverlake, so please reserve your spot as soon as possible.
Come and meet like-minded new friends or bring along a partner to share your experience! These classes are designed for people of all ages and all cooking levels. Come learn how to care for your health, and those you love. We will give you the knowledge and skills to be a confident cook!

Bios
Jenny
Jenny believes that vegan cuisine is maturing, and she wants to teach it to walk in high-heels. She creates delicious, happy-to-be-alive dishes that are only possible with organic, high-quality ingredients. She loves the challenge of taking classic non-vegan recipes and turning them into their sexier vegan counterparts. Jenny is especially interested in healing people through her cooking. She wants people to feel invigorated when they walk away from the table. She trained at the Natural Gourmet Institute for Food and Culinary Arts in New York City, and attended UC Santa Cruz, where she earned a BA in Environmental Studies.
Heather
Heather embraced vegan cuisine while living in San Francisco ten years ago, and she hasn't looked back. Being creative is in Heather's genetic structure, as she brings her planet-friendly flair to event and party planning. In addition to Spork Foods, Heather works at an environmental nonprofit organization, where she trains and supports communities to plant and care for trees, educates the public about the environment, and works with government agencies on water issues.
