 Erin Fletter started Sticky Fingers Cooking school and co-owns Barolo Grill in Denver. Sticky Fingers Cooking began as a simple idea—Erin wanted to teach her kids how to cook and thought, “Why not teach all kids?” Today, Sticky Fingers Cooking classes are offered all over the United States, and more than one hundred thousand kids (and counting!) have learned how to cook in a Sticky Fingers Cooking class, cookbooks, and online.
