In our children’s cooking series, children learn to prepare menus by actually preparing the recipes themselves each day. When children cook the food themselves, they are more likely to try what they have prepared, including vegetables! Throughout the series, we will practice knife skills, working with savory and sweet doughs, searing proteins, and baking. At the end of each class, the kids enjoy the food they have prepared.SCHEDULE: Mondays: 12:00 – 2:00p.m.
DATES: November 4, 11, 18, 25
PRICING: $250 for 4 weeks
