Kelly Huddleston‘s got something new cooking in Texas.
The former Silverdale resident, who went to college in southern California and stayed there to fashion careers as an actress and stand-up comedian, has moved her base of operations to the Design District of Dallas, where she’s opened a unique culinary school, “The Cookery.” She’s the owner and head chef instructor.
Huddleston, a Central Kitsap High School
graduate, teaches her students an out-of-the-box approach to
cooking. In her classes, students don’t learn to prepare a meal
from a set recip
e. Instead, she’s
interested in what a recent feature article at dallasnews.com
called “a less linear, more organic approach to teaching and
learning.”
“You come in, and there’s no recipe booklet,” Huddleston is quoted in the article. “I’m your guide.”
Huddleston studied acting at Chapman University in Los Angeles and built a strong resume of TV, theater, movie, Web series and commercial work. She was a YouTube sensation for a time as the sleewear-bedecked online college student / spokesperson for Education Connection. She then branched out into stand-up comedy, performing a number of gigs in some of the top clubs in southern California.
Just for variety, Huddleston also worked as a class V river guide on the Kern river (near Los Angeles) for Kern River Outfitters.
