At the Smoky Mountain School of Cooking & Gourmet Treats, we bring the flavors and traditions of the Smoky Mountains to life! We teach the art of Appalachian-inspired cooking through live demonstration or hands-on cooking events, where guests can roll up their sleeves and immerse themselves in the experience. Our instructors blend culinary techniques with rich mountain folklore, making every class both fun and delicious. For those seeking a more private or unique experience, we offer private classes right here in our kitchen or off-site at your cabin, home, or other venues. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or just starting out, you’ll leave with new skills and a full heart—and stomach!
