According to the Washington Post, less than 60 percent of dinners served at home were actually cooked at home in 2014 in America. While it may be easier to watch Martha Stewart make Cardamom-Buttermilk Panna Cotta on the TV while you eat takeout, there’s something satisfying about preparing a meal yourself.

In an effort to respark a love for cooking and eating healthy, there are several great options for local cooking classes around Little Rock.

Eggshells Kitchen Co.
Held on-location in The Heights, classes feature the best and brightest gourmet chefs who will teach you how to master the basics, whip up pop culture-themed dishes or make one of their favorite meals.

Arkansas Heart Hospital
After AHH introduced the Pritikin diet — a low-calorie, low-protein, super-low-fat, high-carbohydrate eating plan — Chef Mark Elliotte now teaches heart healthy cooking classes and gives instruction on healthy food shopping and meal planning.

Pulaski Technical College Culinary Arts Program
Pulaski Tech’s Community Education offers cooking classes throughout the year, touching on various cooking processes and cuisines. The classes are held at PTC’s Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management Interstate, with a past session including a naturally gluten-free cooking class.
