Holly’s Cooking Classes have been inspiring people to prepare great food in their kitchens since 1999. Hundreds of people have come together to prepare delicious meals, meet new people, and have a great time while learning how to nourish themselves well. The classes are hands on, so we are all chopping, slicing and stirring a great meal together!

Holly's Cooking Classes are designed to teach you how to quickly and easily prepare a wide variety of whole, natural foods- simply, within your time schedule.


All classes focus on seasonal, organic, whole foods, and include a printed set of recipes. We use produce from local Hudson Valley Farms whenever possible, and we don’t use refined sweeteners- ever. Each class includes protein, vegetables, whole grains and dessert unless otherwise noted. There are always vegan or vegetarian options, and we can substitute ingredients if you have food allergies or sensitivities. At the end of each class, we sit around the table to chat and enjoy the fruits of our labor- a delicious, freshly cooked meal! So come on your own, or grab a friend, and join us for a great class that is sure to inspire you!

The way you feel and the state of your health is directly affected by the foods you choose to eat

  • Do you want to eat healthier, yet you are not sure what to eat?

  • Do you want to learn how to prepare healthy, delicious foods quickly so you can nourish yourself well and feel energized?

  • Do you believe that you have "no time" to cook?

"I can't thank you enough for last week's cooking class. I enjoyed it very much!!!! It was such a pleasure to pass the evening in an idyllic farm setting, surrounded by a wonderful group of people eating such delicious food! I'm so appreciative of the opportunity and of the wonderful work you are doing in this community!"
-Dr. Christa

"I had a simply marvelous time at the cooking class. I attend pretty much all of them and can tell you that Tuesday's was very special. I am constantly amazed by the different textures and feel each and every class presents like a well worn, hand-sewn quilt. I thoroughly enjoyed every participant, as diverse as we are, and cooking with all of you."

In Defense of Food By Michael Pollan
Thursday, March 27th

"In his hugely influential treatise The Omnivore's Dilemma, Pollan traced a direct line between the industrialization of our food supply and the degradation of the environment. His new book takes up where the previous work left off. Examining the question of what to eat from the perspective of health, this powerfully argued, thoroughly researched and elegant manifesto cuts straight to the chase with a maxim that is deceptively simple: "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants." But as Pollan explains, "food" in a country that is driven by "a thirty-two billion-dollar marketing machine" is both a loaded term and, in its purest sense, a holy grail. The first section of his three-part essay refutes the authority of the diet bullies, pointing up the confluence of interests among manufacturers of processed foods, marketers and nutritional scientists-a cabal whose nutritional advice has given rise to "a notably unhealthy preoccupation with nutrition and diet and the idea of eating healthily." The second portion vivisects the Western diet, questioning, among other sacred cows, the idea that dietary fat leads to chronic illness. A writer of great subtlety, Pollan doesn't preach to the choir; in fact, rarely does he preach at all, preferring to lets the facts speak for themselves. (Jan.)"
