Each week, students learn basic cooking skills while making dinner for their family!
We use the perspective of food, cooking, and nutrition to learn about geography, math skills, science, and culture, while helping kids develop a lifelong love of fresh ingredients. Our hands-on cooking classes are fun and delicious, and are a wonderful way to develop enthusiasm for the kitchen, while practicing knife skills and kitchen safety.
Each dish feeds a family of 4-6 and goes home in oven-ready cookware with baking instructions. Our menu changes seasonally, you can check out the current menu here.
WHERE: No kitchen or special equipment is needed to have our Dinner Club at your school. Many of our classes are held in the teacher/staff break rooms, art/science rooms. We bring everything we need in, including cleaning supplies. After class, we sweep and clean leaving the space exactly as we found it, just cleaner!
What we need:
WHEN: 90 mins + 10-15 minutes for snack and picking up the students after school. Sessions can run anywhere from 4 -15 weeks.
WHO: Our typical grade range is 2nd-4th. However, we can offer 3rd - 5th or 5th - 8th grades. Occasionally in the spring we open to 1st-3rd graders. Please reach out via email to discuses the options.

This is what one of our parents recently emailed us. "We can't thank you enough for all you have taught and shared with us during this winter cooking class at McDonald! [...] The meals definitely warmed our bellies and filled our hearts!" You can find more information on my background and mission here. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you for your time and consideration.
