“Let’s move beyond recipe robots and train cooks who get it – cooks who can correct seasoning and understand why they’re doing what they’re doing”

Who We Are

We offer a food experience unlike any other. Our programs are 100% hands-on and here, San Francisco is your campus. We bring in guest chefs and students go on field trips – connecting them to the Bay Area food community.

See what's happening in our kitchens today...

So happy about the return of our field trip at Mon

So happy about the return of our field trip at Monterey Fish. Seeing first hand how seafood gets from 🚤-> 🍽 and hearing about the critically important ways to sustainably source is always best when done with the pros at 5:30 am, on site! Thanks Tom and team-we 🧡 what you do.

And, #protip, when your class has a field trip that early you should absolutely follow it up with brunch at Plow!

The Recipe Development workshop in #proculinary this week opened a lot of eyes to how this process can be much tougher than it seems. By tasking students to build a better grilled cheese sando (and a recipe to go with it) they not only realized that attention to detail matters but so does that killer cheese pull!
