Keeping It Local for the Holidays
Give a gift that will excite your loved ones, as well as leave you with the warmth and good cheer of supporting vibrant local businesses. Our goal at Culinary School of the Rockies is to purchase a minimum of 10% of our food products from local farmers whenever possible. When you support CSR you support several Boulder-based businesses. And the best part is, your return thanks might just come back to you in the form of delicious, homemade dishes.

Gift Certificates are available in any denomination or for specific classes, and are good for one year. Call us today at 303.494.7988 or 877.249.0305.
