As featured in the Lake Minnetonka Magazine, our community is built upon the foundation that good from-scratch cooking is a craft worth doing. Food brings happiness and brings people together, something we hope to do through our community.
​
We cook to make those around us happy and to teach those around us the art of from-scratch cooking. Here you will find culinary experiences, trusted recipes, and of course, a foodie community like none other.
​
From restaurant secrets to trusted recipes, we want everyone to feel welcome and to have the ability to learn about the vast and fascinating culinary industry.
