Our Team
Meet the small but mighty team behind Apples to Zucchini Cooking School! We’re a group of passionate foodies, enthusiastic educators, and lovers of quality ingredients and quality food puns. We believe in sharp knives, an extra pinch of salt, and the idea that it’s never too early (or late!) to learn how to cook. Above all, we believe that everyone deserves access to the skills, confidence, and community that come from preparing and sharing delicious meals.
