what we do
Welcome.
Purple Kale Kitchenworks is a small, but mighty cooking studio founded by award-winning restaurant chef and cookbook author, Ronna Welsh. We host magical culinary events and offer unparalleled cooking instruction (including online).
What We Value
Efficiency
We translate systems learned from years in professional kitchens to the home.
Resourcefulness
We prioritize an excellently-prepared, nimble pantry to give any level of cook the ability to improvise.
Sustainability
Our ingredient-driven approach requires we use the best products possible. These are seasonal and locally grown.
Economy
We focus on using perishable items first, and on using all parts of any single ingredient, even those typically discarded.
Deliciousness
We think culinary instruction fails when attempts to save time, money, and effort make for anything less than fantastic food.
