Jim Hendry is inspired by the vibrant flavors of Spanish, Italian, and Asian cuisines and the endless possibilities they present. He honed his culinary skills at some of Southwest Florida’s most acclaimed restaurants including Cosimo’s Brick Oven & Trattoria, Nick’s On the Water, and Top of the Quay. In his cooking classes, Jim enjoys creating a lively, but casual atmosphere where students can get to know one another, share a fun experience, and make memories.
