Class in the Kitchen was created by an awesome group of women who wanted to bring the love of cooking great food to the world! We structured our cooking classes so they would be able to be taken in home kitchens, bringing family and friends together, learning to make different types of ethnic cuisines or perhaps learning new cooking skills. Our main focus is bringing a human element to online cooking classes so if there is a question needing to be asked or a comment needing to be made, it can be done right then by just simply speaking with the instructor. Class in the Kitchen's number one mission is to educate, build and strengthen connections through the use of creating amazing food.

Amber
Turrubiates
Class Coordinator
As a young girl, in her bedroom arranging dolls and teddy bears in chairs to prepare for their first lesson of the day, Amber always knew she would be a teacher. After a myriad of restaurant service jobs as a teen, she developed a love for amazing food. She earned her Bachelors of Business Administration, Teacher's Certification and then her Masters of Educational Administration. Having the opportunity to teach first and second grade students in a public school setting confirmed her passion for wanting to share knowledge with others. Amber is now helping Class in the Kitchen by making sure their students are successful before, during and after their cooking class. When Amber is not assisting in optimizing your cooking class experience, most likely she'll be with her family watching a movie, baking yummy desserts or designing new inventions to make everyday life just a bit easier.

Grazia grew up in Sardinia, Italy where she embraced her culture and their love for great food. She moved to the US bringing with her the traditions and values of creating food that people enjoyed which would allow those eating it to bond with joy and laughter, proving that good food is indeed good for the soul. Grazia joined the Class in the Kitchen team as a Chef Cooking Instructor so she could share amazing cooking techniques and share her passion for creating absolutely delicious food with others from anywhere in the world. In her spare time, Grazia enjoys traveling to new placing, growing different types of fresh herbs in her garden, completing furniture makeovers as

Always having a love for drawing and design, Desiree knew she wanted to do something where she could put her creativity to use. With one half of her heart being devoted to helping others, Desiree decided to get her degree in Science with a concentration in nursing. Here at Class in the Kitchen, Desiree is able to put her creative bone to use by designing awe-inspiring social media post.
