The Wooden Spoon
Hi, we are so excited for you to join the team! Are you ready to take on your culinary journey today? Be the first in your family to experience one of a kind cooking with the top notch skills and techniques to master all of those delicious family favorite recipes.
Our Goal
Here in the kitchen we focus on two things, fresh and handcrafted. We believe all food should be pure, feeding us and the ones we love clean, organic meals without the harmful chemicals and preservatives. Remember, healthy eating is essential and beneficial to our bodies. Did you know, acknowledging true healthy eating starts with knowing the core ingredients in each of your dishes. Have you ever wondered why you feel bloated, have constant body aches, fatigued or become easily unmotivated…it’s what you’re fueling your body!
It’s important to us that we provide our people and their communities with the proper education and knowledge to master all tasks in the kitchen. We work hard to provide our followers with quality recipes to feed their families, educate our chefs about the benefits of cooking with real ingredients and ensure to dedicate every meal as a learning experience for both adults and children.
Our Mission
We are taking home cooking to the next level, we are finding the inspiration, the passion, THE ART! Did you know, presentation is one of the key selling factors in a restaurant for any customer. Think about it, what triggers your appetite to try something new…PRESENTATION! Rich, vibrant colors, dimension, height and knife cuts all play a roll into a beautiful eye-catching dish. One reason the culinary industry is so inspiring to people is the freedom to be creative. We always remind our chefs to be their true authentic self in the kitchen, this helps to build confidence and allow them to be expressive through their food. With the right techniques, proper knowledge and a little bit of patience, you can turn your homemade meals into 5-star worthy cuisines. Are you up for the challenge?
Meet The Chef
Welcome to The Wooden Spoon! Hello, my name is Grace, I’m a culinary chef and I am here to teach you how to bring life back into your kitchen. Join me in my journey of home cooking where messes are guaranteed, the dishes are always dirty and the kitchen is always open.
Cooking has always been a passion of mine from a very young age. At five years old, I had my career decided and I knew I wanted to become a business owner in the culinary industry. Forget the cartoons and toys, I wanted Food Network and a freshly grilled steak! For years I lived in my kitchen (not literally), cooking and baking anything I could possibly think of. Food was my therapy and soon became my career. It allowed me to become more independent, creative and I was able to teach myself the basics before college. My inspiration was through the numerous cooking shows and the different cultures surrounding each dish. My curiosity to trying new foods allowed me to create my own flavors and develop my own unique talents. From vibrant colors to the intricate designs, I saw food as a piece of art. With that, I wanted to showcase my talent in a way that was inspirational and motivating to almost anybody. I wanted to show the world that “fancy food” seen on social media isn’t just in high class restaurants, but can be made within the walls of ones home.
The Wooden Spoon is designed as a self taught, virtual, cooking assistant. Sharing recipes to fit any occasion, teaching proper culinary techniques and spicing up dishes with beautiful plate presentations. The best part is, there’s no time limit! All can be done within your own home, at your own pace and preference. Spending thousands of dollars or setting aside time to attend professional classes just to deliver simple key points to cooking is such a headache and impossible with busy families. I wanted a way to bring growth to communities that was simple, easy and most importantly educational for both adults and young children. Remember, we are cooking to live a happier, healthier and better future, so why not start today?
Come along, join my journey and experience the culinary dream with me.
Oh and don’t forget your apron!
