The Silo Cooking School

Founded by Ruth and Skitch Henderson over five decades ago, The Silo Cooking School has stood as a roaring testament to the artistry, ingenuity, and sheer joy of cooking. This is the spot where culinary sparks turned into wildfires, where the seeds of what would become the Food Network were first sown in the 1970s—before cable took over our screens. It’s where titans of the culinary world like Julia Child, Jacques Pépin, and Martha Stewart—not just names, but legends—stepped into our kitchen, not only to teach but to capture the magic of food on film.

Today, The Silo Cooking School isn’t just a place to learn—it’s a destination for anyone hungry to connect with food, culture, and community. Whether you’re signing up for one of our public cooking classes to master a new dish, bringing your team for a corporate team-building session that fires up creativity, or planning a private group class tailored to your wildest culinary dreams, our kitchen doors are wide open. We’re also serving up unforgettable cooking summer camps for the next generation of foodies and offering bespoke catering services to make your events unforgettable.

We are open 7 days a week from 9am to 7pm
