Join recent "Chopped" champ, Chef Grace Goudie of Scratchboard Kitchen, for a culinary treat of her choice. This hands-on class promises a peek into Chef Grace's signature composed, but not complicated cooking.

Chef Grace Goudie is Executive Chef at Arlington Heights' Scratchboard Kitchen. Her passion for cooking began at a young age and led her to the Culinary Institute of America in Napa, CA where she attended the Accelerated Culinary Arts Program. Upon graduation, she accepted a position at Thomas Keller’s Ad Hoc and was quickly promoted to Sous Chef. She then worked at The French Laundry, one of the top-rated restaurants in the world, before making her way back to the Chicago area. 

Space is limited. This class is designed for adults 18+. Culinary classes are limited to one class per month, per Arlington Heights cardholder.

The Makerplace kitchen is not a nut-free, gluten-free, or other allergy free environment.
