There is something truly special about watching young minds discover the magic of cooking!

Our Simply DeLish Culinary students rolled up their sleeves and learned how to make homemade Italian meatballs and fresh pasta FROM SCRATCH! 🇮🇹🍝

Now, while our students weren’t quite ready to share their homemade pasta with the world just yet 😂, I couldn’t be more proud!

It’s not about creating the perfect dish on the first try. It’s about the curiosity, the willingness to learn, the excitement, and the confidence they’re building with every new experience.

What truly inspires me is how ENGAGED these students are! They’re asking questions, getting their hands dirty, challenging themselves, and discovering skills they didn’t even know they had.

As a chef and educator, these are the moments that remind me WHY we do what we do. We’re not just teaching recipes. We’re building confidence, encouraging creativity, developing life skills, and inspiring the next generation of culinary professionals.

The pasta may not have been ready for its grand debut, but these students are already cooking up something AMAZING! ❤️

And THAT is what makes this journey so inspiring!

With love,
Chef Lish 💕

SWEET LESSONS & EVEN SWEETER MEMORIES! 👨🏽‍🍳🍫

Our Simply DeLish Culinary Students got their hands a little floury and their creativity flowing as they learned how to make homemade chocolate cookies completely from scratch! 🍪❤️

From measuring ingredients and mixing the perfect dough to learning baking techniques, our junior chefs put their skills to the test!

And let’s just say… the cookies were SO GOOD, our Union students didn’t want to share cookies 🤣🤣🤣🤣 We might have to add a lesson on sharing next week! …Not our Tulsa Honors Academy students because they were so very generous with their cookies! They set aside many for their teachers and kept only a handful for themselves. 🥹❤️🥹🍪

But that’s what we LOVE to see! Students learning new skills, building confidence, having fun, and enjoying the delicious rewards of their hard work.

At Simply DeLish, we’re doing more than teaching recipes. We’re building future chefs, creating opportunities, and making memories—one delicious lesson at a time! ❤️

🍪 Made from scratch. Made with love. Made by our future chefs!

What a weekend for the Simply DeLish family! ❤️ We had the honor of celebrating TWO beautiful weddings, and while every wedding we cater holds a special place in our hearts, this weekend hit a little differently.

Our very own Alycia Ripperger firstborn — who has always felt like our first son — married his beautiful bride, Kennady! 🥹❤️

There’s something incredibly special about watching someone you’ve watched grow up step into a new chapter of life. To not only witness this moment, but to have Simply DeLish be part of their wedding celebration, was truly an honor.

Kennady, welcome to the family! 💕 And to the newlyweds, may your marriage be filled with friendship, laughter, patience, grace, good food, and a lifetime of choosing one another.

Two weddings. Two beautiful couples. One VERY busy kitchen. 😂🔥
And a whole lot of LOVE!

Congratulations to both of our couples on an unforgettable Simply DeLish Double Header Wedding Weekend! 🥂💍

Tomorrow, some of our Simply DeLish culinary students are stepping out of the classroom and into a REAL culinary experience as we prepare to welcome more than 450 guests at Iron Gate’s nonprofit rooftop event!

This is an opportunity for our students to use what they’re learning to serve an amazing cause, gain hands-on experience, work alongside culinary professionals, and see what it takes to prepare for a large-scale event.

And today’s lesson? 🥔🔥 REAL POTATO CHIPS FROM SCRATCH!

Our students learned how to take fresh potatoes and turn them into crispy, golden homemade chips—because even something as simple as a potato can become something special when you understand technique.

One of the best parts of these experiences is being out in our community, seeing familiar faces, reconnecting with people who support our mission, and introducing our Junior Chefs to the people who continue to pour into Tulsa. 💚

Tomorrow they’ll put those skills to work for 450+ guests, and we couldn’t be more excited for them to experience what it means to cook with purpose.
