Our vision is to build a movement of healthy habits. One of the ways we do that is through education. Enter the Wolf Teaching Kitchen, a state of the art kitchen equipped with Wolf appliances, nestled right into the Bakke Recreation & Wellbeing Center. We believe that wellness encompasses both what you do physically as well as what goes on your plate. Here we empower students and members to create delicious, healthy meals that fuel their active lifestyle.
