Food & Culture
Kate Calahan
Head Chef
Who they are
I am an Arizona native. I received my degree in culinary arts and restaurant management from the Le Cordon Bleu culinary school in Scottsdale. During school I was invited to attend the Cannes Film Festival to work with top chefs from Spago and cook for celebrities and film students. After school, I worked at the Royal Palms, the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, and Norwegian Cruise Line. In 2009 I started at Lux and have been nourishing and cultivating community ever since.
My passion is food: teaching people how to cook and bake, how to use their palate and senses to guide them to make food, to eat and enjoy the craft of cooking.
How they connect
Food & Culture, taught through the integrated Pródos day, in the same language as every discipline in the building.
“Teaching kids to explore food and challenging them to try new things allows them to grow as individuals and gives them a skill that stays with them for life.”
