Residents of the Lake Minnetonka area are well known for their creativity. So it was only natural that Cooks of Crocus Hill would begin offering its classes in the Minnetonka area.

Cooks has had a decade-plus relationship with Minnetonka’s Roth Living, which blossomed into a culinary partnership. In 2013, cooking classes taught by Cooks of Crocus Hill and held at Roth Living launched to great success.

The classes combine Roth Living’s showroom, full of top-of- the-line kitchen equipment, and Cooks’ delicious masterpieces. “It’s been very well-received,” says Susie Tucker, director of culinary sales at Cooks of Crocus Hill. For a lot of the clientele who are looking to purchase different equipment and appliances from Roth, she notes, the classes are a good opportunity to try things out.
