Educating and Inspiring Home Cooks

Yes, You can Cook!

A New Venture Underway!

If you’re checking the site for the current schedule of classes or what’s new at The Blue Apron Cooking School this year, I have exciting, although a bit sad news. I’ve decided to take this year off from teaching classes in order to concentrate my time and efforts in the pursuit of drafting The Blue Apron Cooking School Cookbook!

This has been on my “to-do-list” for quite awhile and I’ve come to realize I am unable to do both—teach and write at the same time. I want this book to be a collection and celebration of the many wonderful dishes we have had so much fun making together over these past 15 years! I’ve listened to you as I’ve had many requests from students to compile a cookbook, one that would contain many of our “all-time-favorite recipes” as well as great hints and tips from the classes.

My plan is to take you along on the process, as I will be posting my journey composing this book in a blog on this site. I’ll let you know when that is up and running. Please stay in touch with me and I promise to stay in touch with you.

Thanks for your understanding and support!

What Students are Saying

I haven’t had so much fun cooking, ever! I learned so much from you and the other ladies, measuring flour, holding the knife, the beauty of the food processor and the inevitability of something not going as planned, getting through it and moving on to a delicious meal. The synergy developed during the class is wonderful and a credit to you. Thank you again and I look forward to next semester.

We would like to thank you for THE best experience we have had since we moved to Payson. It was well worth the two hour drive. Your instruction, organization and information was awesome. The instruction intricacies really made the recipes terrific—who knew you cut chocolate at a 45% angle on a wooden board. We have tried out some of the recipes and they were a hit. There are several of us that now that want to return . . . actually move into your house. Thanks again.

—Most sincerely, Dick & Kathleen

Hi, Liz,

Your warmth and generous hospitality make the cooking experience a delight. I noticed that second helpings on the lamb were taken by all of our group, which says a lot when 3 out of 4 aren’t particularly crazy about lamb!
