Cooking Classes for All
At Apples to Zucchini, we’re dedicated to building community through cooking. As Santa Barbara County’s only nonprofit cooking school, we teach children, teens, and adults how to prepare delicious, nutritious, and affordable meals using seasonal, local ingredients. Join us in the kitchen today!
Family Cooking Classes

Afterschool Classes
Afterschool cooking classes are the bread and butter of AtoZ. Each week, we roll our mobile kitchen carts and baskets of fresh ingredients into 20+ elementary and middle school classes throughout Santa Barbara County for hands-on cooking lessons. We cook, eat, and clean up together—and come back the next week hungry for more!
Private Cooking Classes
Let Apples to Zucchini Cooking School help you create an unforgettable hands-on cooking experience for corporate off-sites, team-building events, reunions and other celebrations. We’ll work with you to design a seasonal menu and provide everything you need for a delicious, nutritious and memorable event.
