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!
