History
Established in 2017.
The vision of Cooking Up is to see more people sitting down together at the table for a home-cooked meal made with seasonally fresh and local foods. For every family in every community to learn the benefits of easy, healthy cooking and how this can happen in their own kitchens.
Cooking Up teaches people how to feed themselves and their families; how to cook meals every day that are simple to make and provide healthy nourishment.
Cooking Up is a Social Enterprise, when you buy a class, you are providing a family in your community with a class that will give them the knowledge and skills to cook simple, healthy meals on a budget.
Learning how to cook provides families with lifelong knowledge that can help them make sustainable lifestyle changes to improve their health.
Make a difference in a family's life by joining us for a class.
Meet the Business Owner: Jilah K.
Jilah Kalil, home cook & local food advocate, has been cooking since she was very young, getting to cook along side her grandmother. From there her cooking involved taking care of herself during college, and then, as a wife and mother, caring for her family. It was during this time that the family meal became the central focus of her cooking experiences, creating meals that were simple to prepare & everyone would eat.
While teaching her soon-off-to-college kids to cook for themselves, the idea for Cooking Up came about. The basic principles of Cooking Up: believing that everyone and anyone can cook, that cooking can be simple, using no recipes and seasonal ingredients, and learning to cook can be fun, taking the stress and intimidation out of the kitchen. The benefits are home cooked meals simplified & eaten together with those you care about most.
