Culinary Underground

Culinary Underground School for Home Cooks is committed to furthering the art and craft of home cooking through engaging and educational hands-on and demonstrations classes. Using the best seasonal ingredients, mastering techniques, minimizing prep, and maximizing flavor are the focus of our classes.

We believe that good eating and breaking bread with others are two of life’s greatest pleasures, and are at the heart of everyday cooking for family and friends. We share with our students a growing concern of what is in our food and where it comes from. To that end, we support small, local, organic farms and dairies, seek out area restaurants whose chefs cook locally, and invite those chefs, farmers, and purveyors into the classroom to share their knowledge and ideas with our students.

About Our Name: The Culinary Underground School for Home Cooks gets its name from our original location; we live in a berm house, under the ground. We have turf for a roof and huge south-facing windows light the the original Culinary Underground kitchen. After offering classes in our “underground” location for 6 years, we expanded to our current location at 21 Turnpike Road in Southborough. And even though we are no longer literally underground, we kept the name – we liked the whimsically subversive sound of it!
