CULINARY WORKSHOPS FOCUSED ON SHARED TABLES
AND HONEST,WHOLESOME FOODS
01 — The school
Welcome to The Green House School, a premier plant-based cooking school on the coast of North Carolina.
The Green House School is a plant-based cooking school in Wilmington, North Carolina, teaching everyday cooks how to enjoy wholesome, whole-food meals while saving time and fostering a deeper connection with cooking. Our hands-on workshops and online recipe walkthroughs focus on the Restaurant Method of cooking.
Here you will learn how professional kitchens structure dishes (bases, sauces, grains, components) so that one session of prep becomes a week of varied, seasonal meals. Every recipe is a template, not a rule. Once you understand how dishes are built, you can swap ingredients by season, by what’s in your fridge, or by what you’re craving, and it still works for you and your family.
Our workshops are for everyday people who care about eating well and want cooking to feel simple, creative and enjoyable again.
