Chef Matt Jennings | December 9
Chef Jennings hails from Jamaica Plain and Wellesley, Massachusetts.
Growing up in New England and in a family who embraces the culture of food, Jennings’ cooking style has been greatly affected by his surroundings.
The experiences of his youth- whether tending his parent’s elaborate vegetable gardens, fishing for Bluefish and Striped Bass on the Cape and Islands, cooking together in the family’s coal fired oven, or making pot pie from scratch on Sunday nights, have left an indelible imprint on the sensibility of his cuisine.
Matt has received multiple nominations from The James Beard Foundation for Best Chef Northeast- as well as received other significant awards.
Matt has authored and been featured in national and international publications and has been on The Food Network and PBS Television Programming.
He currently lives in Belmont with his Pastry Chef wife Kate, and two sons Sawyer and Coleman.

About our Hands-on Cooking Classes Our hands-on cooking classes are structured as a group learning experience; you’ll work with other students to create a seasonal meal led by our professional chef instructors.
We focus on learning new cooking styles and techniques to increase your confidence and enjoyment in your own kitchen.
Here are a few things to know before booking a class with us:
Each class is centered on the local, seasonal farmers and artisans of the Boston Public Market, so menus may change slightly based on what’s available the day of the event.
During each class, you’ll learn 3 or 4 recipes, you’ll work with between 4 and 5 other students to create each one, and you’ll enjoy a plentiful taste of each.
