In just six months since opening, Corpus Christi Cooking Club has already made a flavorful mark on the community, creating a welcoming space where families and friends can bond over a shared love for food. Founded with a vision of offering an engaging, hands-on culinary experience for fellow and aspiring foodies, it’s become a place where people come together to learn, create and explore new cuisines.
The inspiration behind the club goes back to owner Michaelah Maddalone’s early experiences. After graduating from high school, Maddalone used her free time to explore things she might be interested in. After taking a cooking class, she was hooked.
Recognizing that Corpus Christi lacked many interactive cooking experiences, Maddalone saw an opportunity to bring something unique to the community. With a growing demand for date-night activities and family-friendly experiences, she decided to make her vision a reality in 2024.
“I wanted to provide people with an awesome experience, a learning environment and a way for people to [try] new cuisines they have never experienced before,” Maddalone shared.
The club offers three membership levels and single class booking options, and covers a wide range of cuisines and techniques, depending on the type of class you’re looking for. This includes date night classes, parent-and-me classes and unique specialty classes like “Chopped Cook-Offs” and “Bake to Escape” challenges. Plus, Maddalone also offers private event options for occasions such as birthday parties or team bonding exercises.
Depending on the class, participants can expect an hour to two and a half hours of hands-on instruction, cooking, plating and tasting. At the end of each class, a take-home recipe card is given to encourage continued practice at home.
Whether you’re looking to master a new dish, refine your skills or simply enjoy a night out with loved ones, Corpus Christi Cooking Club offers an inviting atmosphere for all skill levels. From interactive group sessions to themed cooking nights, each event is designed to inspire creativity and confidence in the kitchen.
As the club continues to grow, Maddalone remains committed to making cooking fun, accessible and educational for everyone. So, if you or your littles are ready to embark on a culinary adventure, grab your apron and join the experience one delicious dish at a time.
Unless otherwise specified, each class is open to all over 5 years of age.
