Our first featured business of the month is “Our Kitchen Classroom“. Here is a little about the founder, Karen M Ricks and more about how “Our Kitchen Classroom” came to be. To learn more, contact Karen at one of the many options below.
Our Kitchen Classroom offers books; private and group cooking workshops; Masterclasses; educational counseling for parents, educators, and child carers; and Culinary & Cultural Tours all over the world!
Our Kitchen Classroom actually started back in 2007, when my husband and I left the U.S. to live and work in Japan. It was then that we really began to teach our new friends, coworkers, and students about American food and culture. While residing in central Japan, our son was born, and we founded our own international Montessori school. There, the lessons expanded to include language and music lessons, sports and art, pop up restaurants, and dinner events for the entire community!
In December of 2016, we sold it all to begin a life of full-time world travel. Now our educational reach extends far beyond the classroom walls of our school, or the limited geographic area we could ever reach with our brick-and-mortar business. We have now lived and worked in 8 different countries on 4 different continents, and in 5 different community languages. Our students span the globe, and our lessons are available to everyone with an internet connection!
As Head Chef, I’m on a mission to teach children of ALL ages to #celebratelife and #lovelearning through food and world travel!!!
