Hi! My name is Peter Ohara and I teach kids and teenagers how to cook in your kitchen! Let's connect and get cooking! Hope to connect soon!

My goal is to build confidence all while having fun as we make simple, healthy, and tasty vegetarian recipes. My name is Peter and I teach kids and teenagers how to cook in your kitchen! I've outlined the class format below:

Location: The client's kitchen

Time: 1-1.5 hours, plus 5-10 minutes for clean-up

Class size: 1-3 kids

Supplies: Combination of your kitchen tools and mine. I have optional sets of kids-safe cookware to safely
prepare each snack/meal. I will purchase ingredients and provide receipts for reimbursement. Recipe: I have a set of preselected recipes (all vegetarian) or please feel free to suggest your own

Goals:

Develop fine motor skills through food prep

Cultivate excitement toward trying new foods

Build confidence in the kitchen while having fun! If you have any questions I would be happy to jump on a call or please email. Schedule a FREE 15-minute intro call here:

Sushi‑making birthday party in full swing! Rolling, laughing, trying new things, cheering each other on. The whole vibe was just so sweet.

We made cucumber rolls, avocado rolls, and a few “creative” inventions that were honestly the stars of the table. Nothing better than watching kids feel proud of something they made with their own hands.

I host these classes right in your home — ingredients, setup, cleanup, all taken care of — so you can actually enjoy the moment. Perfect for birthdays, after‑school hangs, or a fun weekend activity with friends.

Brooklyn families, if you’re dreaming up something hands‑on and screen‑free, I’d love to cook with you.

🎃🍏 The recent PS 282 Fall Festival was a blast! Over 100 kids stopped by to make monster apples—complete with silly eyes, sunflower butter, marshmallows, and all kinds of fun toppings. The creativity was off the charts, and the costumes? Absolutely epic.

Huge thanks to the team for inviting me to be part of the fun!

🌺 Tiki Time at PS282 earlier this month was a tropical blast! 🌞

Over 85 families came out to celebrate the end of the school year together, and the vibes were sweeter than a fruit kebab 🍍🍉🍓

I had the joy of hosting a DIY tropical kebab table—and watching the kids get creative with pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe, blueberries, and strawberries was the cherry on top 💫

So great seeing all the familiar faces and sharing in the fun 🏝️ thank you for having me!

🎉 Birthday Bash with a Culinary Twist! 🥟🍜

Recently I had the absolute joy of hosting a birthday cooking class for ten enthusiastic 11-12 year-old boys! 🎂👨‍🍳 Together, we rolled up our sleeves (and some delicious gyoza) while learning how to whip up a mouthwatering noodle stir fry.

👩‍🍳 From mastering safe cutting techniques 🥕 to perfecting the art of hand-rolling gyoza and tossing a stir fry like pros, these young chefs stole the show! It was hands-on, messy, and so much fun. ✨
