Why This Program Matters
A Passion for Cooking
Meet Polly Talbott
Hello, I’m Polly
I started out baking with my grandmother as a little girl, and I have spent my life in kitchens: managing restaurants, styling food for photography, and, for 22 years, owning and directing a cooking school right here in Lynbrook, New York. Today I love helping cooks, chefs and dietitians turn what they already know into classes of their own, with patience, encouragement and a lot of laughter. When I’m not cooking, you’ll find me ballroom dancing, biking, traveling, or in the kitchen with my grandchildren, Leo and Emilia. I’d love to hear what you hope to teach.
