Knife Sharpening at Culinaria Cooking School.
If your knives are dull or have not been sharpened in a long time bring them by to be sharpened, while you wait. You can also drop them by the school to be sharpened and we will take care of them and call you when they are ready!

Assistant Program
Culinaria is on the lookout for volunteers to work with our chefs. An assistant's duties include preparing the mise en place, helping the chef during class, and general clean up. 

Whether you are an enthusiastic beginner or a seasoned veteran, working as an assistant at Culinaria will help you hone your skills.  Assistants can work during the day or in the evening, once a week, or once a month — and earn credits towards free classes and other special benefits.

Stop by the school for more information, or call us at 703-865-7920.

Winter Break Camp
Our half-day cooking camps for kids and for teens go beyond the typical summer camp fare. Campers explore international and American cuisines in programs that teach them essential cooking skills, and how to maneuver in today's modern kitchen. Plus, our enthusiastic staff helps them learn how fun cooking and entertaining can be.
