The Kitchen Studio Cooking School Christine Van Bloem, owner At The Kitchen Studio Cooking School in Frederick, owner Chef Christine Van Bloem and her staff of kitchen experts take playing with your food to a whole new level, offering a wide variety of cooking and baking classes to adults and kids from Frederick and beyond. Van Bloem, a New York City transplant with extensive culinary training, has lived in Frederick for more than two decades, and opened The Kitchen Studio Cooking School in 2005. She and the other instructors have an infectious enthusiasm for tasty food. That enthusiasm comes through during hands-on group cooking classes, where students can try their hands at Classic French, Italian, Korean and Indian cooking techniques, as well as learn more about the fundamentals of cooking or pastry. One especially popular class is Cooking With Beer, a partnership with Flying Dog Brewery that has students making things like beer cheese pull-apart bread, beerbattered chicken with beer waffles and Gonzo milkshakes.
Kids and teens can sign up for classes or summer camps, too. During the popular “Cupcake Wars,” kids whip, stir and mix their way to baking success. Birthday parties are a constant on The Kitchen Studio calendar, and special Girl Scout or Boy Scout-focused classes are available as well. Corporate team-building options include hands-on classes, allowing your team to prep a fantastic meal, learn knife skills, tips and tricks, then enjoy the fruits of your labor during a meal together; or the Mystery Basket Challenge, for companies with a competitive edge. No matter which class or camp you choose to attend, you’ll have fun and definitely learn a thing or two at The Kitchen Studio Cooking School. “We focus on just one thing — excellent cooking instruction,” Van Bloem said. “We love, love, love our students, and have built our business on focusing on the people we cook with … We have a lot of fun together.”
