Ritchie has been teaching cooking classes and demonstrations at Nothing to It since 2002, and has been cooking since she was very young.
She currently teaches 5 classes a week, and 400-500 students in a month. Ritchie is a big advocate for cooking with organic ingredients, especially when cooking with meats. On Thursday, March 10th she taught a class called "Killer Chicken Recipes", where she demonstrated proper technique on roasting and carving a chicken.
Ritchie says that for her the most rewarding part of teaching is "when I hear about their success stories at home". A "healthy mix" of her students are new and returning, so she makes sure to take time to chat with her students before class.
