Do you want to get closer to the foods you eat? Pick tomatoes off the vine, see the hens lay their eggs, meet the cows giving you the milk that the artisans use to make your cheese. As a community, we have lost sight of natural ingredients, and have begun to accept that what is in the grocery or at a restaurant tastes the way it should.

That is not what nature intended. You may need to taste a real tomato again to be reminded.

Featuring many of Park City’s most talented and accomplished Chefs, the Park City Culinary Institute takes you back to the farm, where students pick their own greens and vegetables. Copper Moose Farm's Daisy Fair shares her secrets for finding heirloom varieties and facing the challenges of mountain weather.

Shorter and more affordable than most culinary schools, we are styling ourselves on the European model. Whether you want to develop your career, or just bring professional techniques to your friends and family, our Professional Certificate in the Culinary Arts focuses on the five senses - taste, aroma, the sound of the sizzle, colors and texture.

We will introduce you to new ingredients and new techniques, while promoting local growers whenever possible.

The general public can sit in on our classes, but the hands-on practicals are reserved solely for students. Occasionally, we get requests from local Chefs to attend a practical program to continue their education, and refine their skills.

Programs are available for Private and Corporate groups, and can be customized to include tastings, Team Building and competitions. Please call for information.

The Park City Culinary Institute is located at the Deer Valley Club, in Silver Lake Village.
