Hands-on Cooking Classes
Welcome
We are a hands-on recreational cooking school, strengthening our community through unforgettable food. Our teaching style is based on founder Heide Lang’s experiences cooking with her family. She went on to train at the French Culinary Institute in New York, but still attributes her culinary identity to the time she spent bonding with her family over home-cooked meals.
Seeing the power of food to bring people together, and knowing that there is no substitute for hands-on training, she combined the tradition of home cooking with innovative recipes to create an experience unlike any other. You’ll get to know your classmates as you work together to build a meal from scratch, which you will then enjoy together.
You can learn more about us here, and view our upcoming classes here. We’re so glad you’ve joined us and can’t wait to get to know you better!
We created this video as window inside the world of Fig. Watch to learn more about our philosophy and the Fig experience.
““Thank you for such a fantastic event! Your team made all the recipes a breeze and the feedback from the attendees was 5 stars across the board! ”
