Kids (Ages 7-12): Country Cooking with Chef Manny

For ages 7-12.

Get ready for a fun-filled culinary adventure as Chef Manny introduces young cooks to the comforting flavors and timeless traditions of country cooking. In this hands-on class, kids will learn essential kitchen skills while creating delicious, home-style dishes inspired by classic country kitchens. Along the way, they'll build confidence, practice teamwork, and discover the joy of preparing food from scratch.

With Chef Manny's guidance, young chefs will enjoy an interactive, supportive environment where learning and creativity go hand in hand. Whether they're new to cooking or already love spending time in the kitchen, participants will leave with new skills, delicious recipes, and plenty of inspiration to continue cooking at home.

Please escort your child to the Cooking School where you will sign in. Children will not be released from the Cooking School until the adult who signed them in returns to pick them up. The temperature in our Cooking Schools can vary so please dress your child in layers, with long hair pulled back, and in closed toe shoes.
