After School Classes
Your kids will have a blast, develop autonomy, and gain important life skills. These hands-on classes will inspire your child to explore new ingredients and flavors and develop a lifelong healthy relationship with food. Students enhance teamwork and communication skills through collaborative group work and develop problem-solving, resiliency, and adaptability. They can explore outside the recipe to work on creativity and innovation. Food connects us, and students develop friends, have a caring space to ask questions, and express themselves in a nurturing environment.

We believe learning to cook should be accessible to everyone, which is why we offer scholarships to anyone who needs them. Please email us to set-up.
In a world that often demands perfection, kids need spaces to experiment, make mistakes, and learn from them. Fear of failure can hold them back – stifling their creativity and problem-solving abilities. Cooking class is a perfect recipe for building resilience! When things don't go as planned in the kitchen, kids discover that mistakes are simply part of the learning process. They'll troubleshoot, adapt, and find creative solutions. This empowers them to face challenges with confidence, knowing they can succeed even when things don't go as expected – a skill that benefits them in the classroom and far beyond.
