Harvard Cookin’ Girl

Head to La Jolla for a unique and personal cooking experience with Bibi Kasrai, a Persian chef who gave up pursuing an MBA at Harvard to teach healthy and fun cooking habits with the community. She started out offering an after-school program for kids but was soon encouraged by parents to share her secrets of fast, healthy, and exciting food. Whether you go to Kasrai’s cooking studio for date night, open event night, birthday party or corporate event, you’ll prepare an amazing three or four-course meal, and go home with recipes for your own kitchen. Cooking courses start at $70.

If you’re looking to completely revamp your eating habits, Tracy Childs, the founder of Veg-Appeal, will be with you step-by-step in beginning this often difficult process. She offers cooking courses both online and in-person south of La Mesa, as well as seminar-type classes that provide you with great knowledge on how to be healthier. For $100 Tracy will walk you through recipes that you choose together, including the initial meal preparation.
