Jennifer Bushman

"Gourmet cooking is not rocket science," says Jennifer Bushman. "Once you learn the fundamentals, a world of wonderful recipes and experiences opens." Jennifer Bushman started Nothing To It! Cooking School in 1995. Since then, the school has grown from classes around Jennifer's kitchen table to its current location in the 6,000 square foot Nothing To It! Culinary Center. The Culinary Center includes a cooking school with hands-on and demonstration classes taught by Jennifer and a variety of master chefs, a gourmet deli, and a kitchen store. More than 500 students a month take cooking classes at the center. Thousands more are reached through Jennifer's Nothing To It! programs on television and radio. Jennifer brings a fresh, 'non-professional' approach to culinary education. She acquired her initial culinary passion early in life from her mother, and honed her teaching skills at the University of Colorado at Boulder. She developed her culinary skills through intensive self-study, experimentation and professional education at various culinary programs throughout the world.
