Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the Appalachian cooking classes?

A: There's no strict age limit, but the classes are generally age-friendly for teens and adults. Kids are welcome too, though they might need a little help with the hands-on parts. Just keep in mind that it’s a cooking class, so some basic supervision might be needed if you bring younger children!

Q: What should I wear to the cooking class? Is it messy?

A: Wear something comfy that you don't mind getting a bit messy! An apron is a must. The cooking can get a little hands-on, and there are some food prep techniques that might splash a bit. So, leave your nice clothes at home!

Q: What's the best way to get to the Smoky Mountain School of Cooking?

A: The school is pretty accessible. If you’re driving, there's ample parking right outside. If you're in downtown Gatlinburg, you can walk, it's not far at all. Just be mindful of the busy tourist season; traffic can be a bit tricky!

Just got back from the Appalachian cooking class and loved it!

I attended the 'Taste the Smokies' class last weekend in Gatlinburg, and it was such a blast! They taught us how to make traditional Appalachian dishes like cornbread and chicken & dumplings. The best part? It’s hands-on, so you're really involved! Plus, we got to eat everything we made. I highly recommend this for anyone visiting the area or looking for a unique gift experience. Price is unbeatable too—totally worth it!

Thinking of gifting this cooking class—any tips?

I’m considering getting the 'Taste the Smokies' cooking class for my sister’s birthday. She’s super into cooking but hasn’t done much with Appalachian cuisine. Is it suitable for beginners? I want her to have fun but not feel overwhelmed. Any insights would be super helpful!
