Programs and Classes

At Cooking with Kidz, we take the fear, mystery and the unknown out of cooking. 


In addition, every classroom session and hosting event incorporates supplemental subject matter which ties into each theme. Our volunteer staff of highly qualified teachers, chefs and nutritional experts carry out our mission to provide an interactive learning experience that gives children the opportunity to develop a life-long joy for the culinary arts and living well.

 

Customized culinary workshops is a great opportunity to sharpen life-skills and stir-up creativity! Join us each week as we take an imaginary and adventurous trip to three distinct areas of the world where kids will learn to cook up samples of several international cuisines from Mexico, Asia, and Italy. No passports needed for this imaginary adventure! Each month is based on a different theme with new recipes each week.

 

Each unique and customized session is designed to familiarize children with diverse foods from local organic growers and farmer markets , while they experience what it feels like to create and taste delicious recipes themselves! Building self-confidence, creativity and a life-long skill are important ingredients to the programs. Please take a few moments and view our video that shows kids learning and having fun making a delicious and healthy meal.
