Lately, many people have been spending more time at home, rather than seated at a table outside one of Tucson’s talented kitchens. So, why not bring their delicious bites and cocktails to your own kitchen then?

Flying Aprons Tucson, founded by Michele Schulze, strives to bring people together by introducing some of Tucson’s vibrant food scene to your home’s kitchen.

Each class is taught by some of Tucson and Southern Arizona’s beloved culinary professionals, including restaurant chefs, personal chefs, and bakers. The meaning behind it all is to represent the region’s most creative and most delicious recipes.

If you’d like to grab a spot in any of the following classes, it’s $40 per screen (not person) and will be broadcasted live on Zoom.
