Shout out to all these men who suddenly find themselves grocery shopping for Valentine’s dinner! I’ve been stopped by some sweet husbands asking my opinion about flowers who ended up getting an unexpected lecture about which steak they should be selecting and tips on how to cook it perfectly. Y’all get these men signed up for a cooking class with me at Cleaver & Clove and a gift certificate to NorthRiver Cattle Company. These are gifts with great returns to the gifter! 😉 Happy Valentines Day!

What do you want to learn to cook?

We are offering two scholarships to our Junior Culinary Camp being held in July 26 to 28th (11am to 2pm each day) at Cleaver & Clove in Downtown Tuscaloosa (next to Jim N Nicks). We’d like to offer these spots based on need but will consider any child with a sincere passion for cooking. We will cover culinary fundamentals and cover a variety of techniques.

If you know of a child you’d like to nominate for these scholarships please email [email protected] with their name, age, cooking experience, and any details you want to share to help us understand why they’d enjoy or benefit from the camp! Please also include all pertinent contact information.

If you’d simply like to register your child, we’d love that as well! Use the link below to reserve their spot as space is quite limited.

Due to the nature of junior culinary camps, we cannot guarantee allergens can be fully avoided. The Junior culinary camps are NOT appropriate for children with anaphylactic allergies of any kind.

Cleaver & Clove will foster and maintain an environment of inclusivity, respect, and kindness for all. I encourage children of all backgrounds to join us in this safe space for them to explore, create, and connect. You’ll find more information about the camp here:

In this fun, three-day workshop, junior chefs will learn and practice essential kitchen skills and cooking fundamentals. We’ll get hands-on and cover all the basics such as rules for handling knives, how to read and follow recipes, measuring and mixing, and the importance of kitchen safety. Classe...
