Dear CCKC Friends,
I'm continually amazed at what I see happening in the Kansas City food scene. In the last 12 years I have witnessed an explosion in global cuisine in our restaurant community, specialty food stores popping up everywhere, the resurrection of a sincere appreciation of and support for the local farmers and artisanal products and the intense curiosity of a younger generation of culinarians who are committed to knowing about the foods they eat and truly want to learn how to cook "real food." It's been fantastic to watch our growth here in the Midwest.
Our job here at The Culinary Center of Kansas City is to keep our fingers on the pulse of the cooking and food trends all around us and then fashion the classes and culinary events and concepts that reflect those trends, all the while maintaining a parade of cooking fundamentals courses as well. We also want to stay ahead of the food curve and continue to expose you to new things on the culinary horizon. It's a one-stop shop for all things culinary here in our kitchens!
Wait till you see what we have in store for you in THIS schedule of classes! We get all giddy when we get ready to pull the trigger on another installment of our class schedule because we know that you will be as excited as we are to see what we have put together for you to explore in the tasty world of cooking and food. Come and play with us in our kitchens. and let us show you that it's as much about the cooking "journey" as it is about what happens around the table!
See you in our kitchens,
Laura Laiben O'Rourke

Requests For Donations
It takes all kinds of ingredients to make a good dish really great. The same rings true for the effort it takes by so many people to serve the needs in the community in which we live. Your work is important and we would like nothing better than to say "yes" to every donation request that comes in our door (and we DO receive a lot of them!) While we really try to do our fair share of donating to this community effort, we are a small company and aren't able to help in every case. We would be happy to consider your donation request based on the following. Thanks for thinking of us and considering our products and services worthy of your request for donation.
Sincerely,
LLO
