 Cooking Class

Does your child beg to help make dinner ?

Do they try to make all the recipes on their own?

Then your child might be the perfect candidate for our Culinary Kids Cooking Classes!

Here we work with our kids and provide them healthy options that they can make themselves! 

These Classes are geared towards the curious students

ages 7 - 10

Topics / Schedule 

Our Schedule:

         Each Week we will host a 2 hour class where kids will explore the kitchen by preparing different healthy foods based on the weekly theme.  

  • Week 1 - Welcome to the Ocean  ​

  • Week 2 - Deep Space 

  • Week 3 - Eating the Rainbow

  • Week 4 - Let's Go Camping

  • Week 5 - The Olympic Games 

  • Week 6 - Dr. Seuss 

  • Week 7 - The Secret Spy 

  • Week 8 - Disney Special 

  • Week 9 - Cute Animals 

  • This summer our overall theme is an Introduction to Cooking, How to prepare your own food with minimal baking needed and how to make them in a healthy way! Instructors will cover the following some of the following topics:

    • Knife skills (ex. chop, julienne, dice, brunoise, batonnet)

    • Nutritional Information 

    • Food handling, allergens, dietary restrictions

    • Specific cooking techniques 

    • Measurements and conversions

*** Our Techniques and skills will be taught during class, but to truly benefit, students should practice the skills at home to create necessary muscle memory and improve the skills. Practicing will help them create a strong foundation of habit and knowledge.

What to Bring / Attire

  • Smock / T-shirt / Apron - We will be playing with food. Incase we do not ruin our clothes, having that extra layer will be great. Each student must bring a three-ring binder to hold study material and recipes provided during class. Students bring these home to enjoy, and then bring back with them when they return for the next class.

    • We offer professional grade chef coats & hats. Inquire for price Personalized chefwear takes 1 - 3 weeks to arrive.​

  • Towel - To save a couple of tree's we ask that your child bring a drying cloth so they can wipe off their hands when they are preparing food. 

  • Open Attitude - We are going to be trying a lot of new things so having an open mind and understanding is key for us to have fun! 

  • Closed Toe Shoes - No matter what time of year it is, students are required to wear closed-toe shoes (crocks and keens are acceptable as long as they have their toes covered)

  • Hair must be pulled back neatly. We do not want to eat our hair!

Tuition

  • Each class is $40. The Summer option is perfect if your child wants to try the class before committing to a longer fall program.

  • Sign Up & Tuition is due by the start of the first class.

What They Take Away 

  • Each week, the students will make their own recipes. They will try them in class, but will bringing their creations home as well. 

  • They will also receive the recipe cards so they can reproduce them at home!
