ATLANTA, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SKS, the award-winning luxury appliance brand backed by LG Electronics, today announced a new partnership with Serenbe to bring Technicurean Living™ to its newly renovated Cooking School. Outfitted with a comprehensive suite of SKS appliances, the school welcomes guests for hands-on culinary classes, chef dinners and live demonstrations that connect locally sourced ingredients with precision cooking technology.
Located in Serenbe, Ga., a wellness-focused community outside Atlanta, the Serenbe Cooking School brings residents, visitors, prospective home buyers and design professionals together around a shared appreciation for food. The partnership integrates SKS into that experience, giving guests the opportunity to explore the brand's appliances as they learn cooking techniques and gather around the table.
"Some of the most meaningful connections happen in the kitchen, when people cook, learn and share a meal together," said Ryan Vitale, sales director at SKS. "Serenbe gives us a natural setting to bring Technicurean Living to life, helping guests discover how precision and thoughtful design can inspire confidence and creativity in their own kitchens."
A Shared Appreciation for Food and Community
Serenbe's emphasis on nature, sustainability and farm-to-table living makes the Cooking School a natural fit for SKS. Through culinary instruction and shared meals, guests can experience how the brand's technology supports the preparation of fresh ingredients while exploring new approaches to everyday cooking and entertaining.
The collaboration also creates an ongoing destination for homeowners, designers and builders to see SKS appliances at work in a fully functioning kitchen. Year-round programming connects product discovery with practical instruction, offering inspiration that guests can bring into their homes and projects.
"Food is central to life at Serenbe, from the ingredients grown on our farm to the meals that bring our community together," said Steve Nygren, founder of Serenbe. "Our newly renovated Cooking School builds on that connection. With SKS, we're creating a place where guests can try new techniques, learn from chefs and enjoy the experience of cooking together."
