      Cook Space Brooklyn is a culinary studio designed to foster and build confidence in the kitchen - in an atmosphere where guests feel welcome, inspired, and emboldened to experiment.Created in a former widget warehouse in Prospects Heights, Brooklyn, Cook Space was imagined to be more than just a place to take cooking classes. Our intention is to create an environment where the act and art of cooking is dismantled, experienced, and celebrated - where mindsets are shifted and one’s experience with cooking is transformed.
