I'm Sheri Castle, host of The Key Ingredient, an Emmy-winning cooking show from PBS NC. I'm also an award-winning food writer, recipe developer, cooking teacher, and storyteller. I believe that stories happen only to those who can tell them.

great stories.

private events, cooking classes & good times

 

 

A custom cooking class or demonstration is the perfect way to pick up new skills, expand your recipe repertoire, entertain guests, engage co-workers, support your favorite fundraiser, or celebrate your next special occasion.

Private events are the perfect option for people who want to spend time with me and enjoy the food I prepare, but don’t want a cooking class.
