A to Z Cooking School (a k a Apples to Zucchini) has moved its kitchen to the First Presbyterian Church, but they are still on the same mission to bring accessible culinary and health education to Santa Barbarans of all ages.
With a more central and accessible location, a beautiful patio for al fresco dining, and a cozy dining room, the move has opened a new chapter for A to Z Cooking School, reinvigorating their mission and easing the process of preparing for after-school classes taking place from Goleta to Montecito.
Founder and Executive Director Nancy Martz stumbled upon her passion for cooking while taking a 12-week class during her time in law school. Years later, a meaningful volunteer experience planted the seed of an idea that eventually bloomed into A to Z. In March of 2016, Martz launched A to Z’s first after-school cooking class in Goleta, and they have since spread their mission to kitchens across Santa Barbara County.
