In Minnesota, we have a number of great places where you learn something new to do in your kitchen. Here are some of our favorites.
Cooks of Crocus Hill, Multiple locations
For more than four decades, Cooks of Crocus Hill has been teaching Minnesota residents kitchen techniques. Their classes are often taught by top local chefs and frequently combine cooking with fun—like Scotch and steaks. They’ve expanded beyond their original Grand Ave. location and now offer products and classes in Stillwater, the North Loop in Minneapolis, and a few Kowalski’s Market locations.

All of their classes, as you likely guessed, are seafood-centric. So, if this is one particular area you want to bone up on, Coastal is the place to be.

The Good Acre, Falcon Heights, MN
The Good Acre is a self-decribed “food hub” that brings farmers and their fresh-from-the-farm or field produce together with consumers who are looking for better products. As part of their mission, they offer classes that use the produce their suppliers deliver. Examples of classes include Global Comfort Foods and a Land and Sea Harvest Dinner.
