At Smoky Mountain School of Cooking, we don’t just teach recipes—we share the rich history and traditions of Appalachian cuisine in a warm, home-style setting. Our authentic, hands-on experience goes beyond the typical cooking class, offering personalized instruction, storytelling, and Southern hospitality that make you feel like family.
Unlike other experiences, we focus on heritage recipes passed down through generations, using traditional techniques that bring the flavors of the Smokies to life. Whether you’re rolling out biscuits, stirring a pot of hearty stew, or savoring homemade cobbler, you’ll leave with newfound skills, cherished memories, and a taste of Appalachian culture you can recreate at home.
