Description: Embark on a culinary journey designed specifically for young chefs aged 12 and up. Our Kids Culinary Skills Workshop offers an intimate, hands-on cooking experience in small groups of no more than six participants. During this four-hour session, students will gain essential cooking skills that will serve them for life, preparing meals and treats tailored to their dietary and medical needs.

What We Offer: Each class involves:

• Recipe Reading and Adaptation: Students start by reading a recipe, learning to understand its components and instructions. They then explore ways to modify recipes to accommodate specific dietary requirements or preferences, fostering creativity and flexibility in cooking.

• Hands-On Cooking Experience: Under the guidance of experienced instructors, students cook a meal from start to finish, applying practical skills in measuring, timing, and the use of various kitchen tools and appliances.

• Group Meal: The session culminates in a group meal, where students sit together to enjoy the food they’ve cooked, discussing their experience and sharing insights.

Educational Benefits:

• Math Skills: Cooking provides a practical application of math, from measuring ingredients to adjusting proportions and calculating cooking times.

• Reading and Comprehension: Students enhance their reading skills and comprehension by interpreting recipes, understanding culinary terms, and following sequential instructions.

• Teamwork and Social Skills: Our workshop emphasizes collaboration and communication, as students work together in the kitchen, which helps in building social skills and learning to work effectively as a team.

• Problem-Solving: Students learn to troubleshoot cooking challenges, make substitutions, and adapt recipes creatively, which are critical problem-solving skills.
