Turn Up The Heat Culinary is led by Chef Michael, the chef and founder/owner, who opened the school. Chef Michael attended the Westlake Culinary Institute, stayed on as an assistant instructor for two semesters while also teaching classes to the general public, worked as a chef in the Health and Wellness Kitchen at the Four Seasons Hotel and Resort in Westlake Village, served as a private resident chef at a large luxury facility in Malibu, and was a chef instructor at a prominent culinary school in Santa Barbara. The stated goal at Turn Up The Heat Culinary is to provide a warm, fun, welcoming place to learn cooking skills. The program describes itself as more than a cooking class, but an immersive culinary journey, with small, mentorship-focused sessions that explore seasonal ingredients, time-honored techniques, and authentic stories behind every dish, including in-studio cooking alongside experts and artisans, and a focus on building confidence in the kitchen and joining a community that shares a passion for cooking. Gift cards are available for adult cooking classes, courses, or private sessions, with a planned expansion of gift card offerings to kid and teen classes.
