Kids and Teens After School Cooking Program

Our Spring season of the Kids and Teens After School Cooking Program is scheduled to start on March 11th. We designed classic seasonal menus for this five-week program. Our young chef ages range from four years old to teenagers. The chefs divide the groups into appropriate age groups, and give them cooking tasks based on their skills. We are so thrilled that many children are interested and excited about our program. We have many repeat students that have been coming for years and enhancing their culinary skills, and we are happy to welcome them back. We are so thankful to build a community of healthy kids!

Adult Cooking Classes

We are thrilled to expand our adult cooking classes, organized into Mediterranean, Latin, and Asian themes. Our cooking classes are not just regular classes but a platform for food enthusiasts to come and enhance their knowledge and skills of food and culture. We have many popular classes, including Classic Moroccan Feast where we showcase the original recipes and techniques of the region. In this class we showcase cooking with tagine and making classic preserved lemon.

Another popular Adult Couples class has been the Taste of Thai , where we showcase classic Thai cuisine, including the herbs and spices related to this regional food. In a recent class, the menu included our Chicken Galangal Soup, Chicken Massman Curry, and Classic Pad Thai which everyone learned to make.
