Join us!
Our cooking classes and events are fun, social events perfect for a date or a girls' night out! Our chefs provide you with all the knowledge and hands-on experience you need to master delicious fare. We look forward to hosting you in our kitchen!
We offer private classes for groups of 8 - 12 people, too! Email Jill Means at jillmeans1@gmail.com for details.
Because we plan our class experience based on attendance, our classes are non-refundable. However, participants may send someone in their place if unable to attend.
Sunday Book Club!
This isn’t your ordinary book club but it is certainly Kitchen Collage’s take on one that is for sure. We pick out our favorite book each month and you get to learn how to make 2 to 3 recipes, plus a book to take home.

Farmer’s Market Tour + Hands On + Tasting
Location: Kitchen Collage, 430 E. Locust Street | Des Moines, IA 50309
Join Chef Nela for a deliciously immersive experience that starts at the heart of the Downtown Farmers Market. You'll meet at 8:00 AM (location will be provided after signing up) where Nela will guide you through the bustling market. We will select the freshest seasonal produce, discover hidden gems from the locals, and gain insight on what to look for.
After gathering your market finds, we will return to Kitchen Collage with our purchases to cook up a meal you’ll want to share with friends and family. Be inspired by Chef Nela's guidance, you'll prep, cook, and enjoy a menu that celebrates the best of what Iowa’s farmers have to offer—all in a relaxed, hands-on cooking class.
Come hungry and curious—this is farm-to-table at its most interactive!
