Several times a year, Kitchen Conservatory offers The Basics of Cooking, a four-part introductory hands-on class focusing on simple techniques for easily cooking homemade dinners taught by Barb Nack, the Director of our Cooking School. One of Barb’s students, Kelly Oliva (a school librarian), wrote a blog connecting her experience to a young adult book. With Kelly’s permission, we are excited to share her testimonial and photos from the first three weeks of The Basics of Cooking on her blog, Plot Driven Life. This 4-part series, The Basics of Cooking, is available again starting on January 4, 2018.

Join us on Sunday, October 15 for a celebration of Anne Cori as owner of Kitchen Conservatory for 20 years!

Stop by and enjoy a slice of pie – Anne’s favorite dessert, and enter a drawing for a copy of our cookbook, A Passion for Cooking.

We will also have a Pop-Up Sale with a great selection of items for $20.

 Vincent Van Doughnut Food Truck

will be parked in the east parking lot at Kitchen Conservatory from 12 to 2 pm! Buy one or buy a dozen to take home!

Our sweet, juicy homegrown garlic is NOW available at Kitchen Conservatory! 2000 hard-neck garlic cloves were planted last fall in our Ladue garden to satisfy (y)our love for this variety of garlic.

Freshly-dug garlic is unlike any garlic you have ever tasted. Order garlic today and we will ship you our moist and juicy fresh garlic. Garlic is never better than the moment it is harvested. Supermarkets sell last year’s dried garlic, which is often bitter. Our fresh garlic can be eaten like a vegetable, particularly when roasted at 275 degrees for 30 minutes. Yum!

Celebrate the garlic harvest at our cooking class on Tue, July 11, 2017: There is No Such Thing as Too Much Garlic.
