Who are weThe journey which led to Captain Cooks Culinary Academy begins over 30 years ago on both sides of the Atlantic. Karen Whitehead grew up in Vermont and her earliest memories of cooking came from spending time in the kitchen with her English Grandmother. Meanwhile In England, Jon Whitehead was also being schooled in the kitchen by his Latvian Grandmother. Karen went on to get her Masters Degree in Hotel Restaurant Management at UNLV and began her 18 year long career in hotel and restaurant industry. Jon went on to study Marine Biology before coming to the US in 1991. They met in 1999 and found a common interest in their love for cooking. Now with 2 small children they began to look for a business that combined all their passions for cooking, healthy eating and the environment and it was then that the idea for Captain Cooks was born.
