Patricia Tamminga grew up cooking and eating veggies fresh from the garden and pasta crafted from scratch, so it wasn't until she started going to school that she realized not everyone lived this way. She grew up nurturing her love for cooking but pursuing other careers—including teaching young kids—until she opened Patricia's Table.
The idea was born when she was teaching kindergarteners in Texas. She'd studied culinary arts, in addition to elementary education, so she decided to use her other degree to lead cooking classes for kids at her home. She found that kids were willing to try unusual foods and embraced garden-fresh ingredients when they were in charge. So she decided to open Patricia's Table and hold children's cooking classes full-time. Here, Patricia fosters a love for healthy cuisine and cooking with an eclectic schedule of cooking classes tailored specifically for youngsters.
