Cooking Classes

Each cooking class with teach five recipes, and some may have a sub-recipe. You will be measuring, prepping and cooking one with another student, under Anita and her team’s guidance. Come ready to get your hands dirty! Do take the time to look through the menu and if you want to do a particular recipe, let us know when you walk in. 

We will all enjoy the food together at the end of the class around our large kitchen tables followed by a Q&A. The recipes with any pertinent notes will be emailed to you within 2 to 3 days. We prefer not to have drinks in the kitchen while cooking but feel free to come in a little early and get a glass of wine or beer. You can continue to enjoy the drinks at the end with dinner.

Monthly Dinners 2024

Dinner Convo Series: There is nothing quite as fun as a great meaningful conversation around good food! Next month, we are launching our monthly dinner series starting in February with our love of local farms. Despite an outside world of war and division, we can come together for a few hours of common ground and common good. Come dream with us about how to make the world, our world in Houston, a better place.


Four large tables of ten is all our Bake Lab can hold comfortably so it’ll be cozy. All the dinners will be family style with vegetarian and meat options. Bring friends, family or neighbors, sit next to them or strangers (who may become friends), eat local fare, have a glass of wine or two…


Here is a plan for February through June. We’ll take a summer break during July and August. Detailed menus will be posted two weeks in advance, based on best availability and seasonality. Space is limited – book now!

If we must eat meat, let’s eat good well-sourced seafood and meats. This is a meat-forward dinner with lots of vegetarian sides.

Want Not, Waste Not | Saturday, June 15th 6pm onwards
One person’s waste is another’s treasure. We’ve always believed in nose to tail cooking, whether it’s vegetables or meats. Let us show you how…
