Cooking Studio

Whole Foods Market is proud of its newest venue...The Cooking Studio.

If you have ever wanted to expand your culinary skills, now is the time and we've got the place. The Cooking Studio at the Metcalf Whole Foods Market is a one-of-akind facility, serving as a community room and state-of-the-art cooking school. All of our classes are taught by cookbook authors, culinary experts, local chefs, restaurateurs, and of course, our very own talented Whole Foods Market Team Members. Discover a wide range of classes - for kids and adults - featuring the finest ingredients available at Whole Foods Market, including seasonal gifts, herbal remedies and body care, floral arrangements, green cuisine and special diets. All classes are created with our community in mind. We feature hands-on and demonstration classes, with hands-on classes offering an interactive experience and demonstration classes providing cooking instruction. Both types of classes will include food tastings. Thank you for all your support as we continue to grow and offer more avenues to enjoy a healthy and delicious lifestyle. If you are interested please contact Chris Clarke, Cooking Studio Director at chris.clarke2@wholefoods.com or phone 913.341.1269.
