Welcome to our hands-on culinary adventure! In this ongoing class, students will explore the world of cooking by learning to create a variety of delicious dinner recipes from scratch. Each week, we’ll dive into a new recipe, guiding students step-by-step through the entire process—from prepping ingredients to tasting their finished dish at the end of the class.

I believe in bringing a mix of simple and slightly more challenging recipes to help students build their kitchen confidence while mastering key cooking techniques. By the end of each class, students will feel accomplished and proud of their hard work, which serves as great motivation for their next culinary challenge.

Whether your child is a beginner or already has some experience in the kitchen, this class welcomes all skill levels! I structure my lessons so that everyone can follow along at the same pace. Occasionally, classes may run slightly over time due to the complexity of the recipe, so punctuality is key. I encourage parents to assist with more difficult tasks like cutting, peeling, and washing ingredients to keep things moving smoothly and ensure we finish on time.

*IMPORTANT*
While the recipes can be turned into family meals, if you’re planning to make larger portions or use more ingredients than the recipe calls for, please actively help your child during class. This ensures the lesson stays on track, and everyone can complete their dishes within the scheduled time.

Throughout the course, students will learn kitchen essentials such as measuring, organizing ingredients, mixing, baking, and cooking. We’ll cover basic knife skills, searing, pan-frying, roasting, and more. Safety is always a priority—I’ll guide them on the safe operation of ovens, stoves, and other equipment, but parental supervision is required at all times.
