Teaching children and teens the joy and value of cooking across the globe in a welcoming environment that sparks creativity, ignites taste buds, and builds culinarily skills that will last a lifetime all while having FUN! Our Young Chefs learn valuable culinary skills and techniques that they will use for the rest of their lives. We all have such demanding schedules these days with work, school and sports activities, it's difficult to pass on to our children these skills: how to cook properly, kitchen safety, and make delicious and nutritious meals. We use the My Pyramid(r) to promote healthier decisions and eating, along with the motto that "everything should be eaten in moderation". In addition, they use their math, reading/comprehension, and communication skills in class while also being provided with background knowledge of what they are cooking, whether it be through food science, facts about the ingredients, or the origin and history of the recipe.
