International Cooking Classes

The International Institute of St. Louis is now offering international cooking classes beginning October 15. Classes are taught by immigrant chefs who will not only share their cooking skills but also their culture. They are held in our 1950’s decorated home ec room with 4 cooking stations.

The classes are a group cooking experience. You will leave with recipes and skills required to recreate the dish at home. Our goal is to share our cooking expertise in a fun and relaxed environment. We provide a fully equipped kitchen with all the supplies needed to create a great meal.

Bring a friend or make a new one while you’re here!
