Programming
Teaching Kitchen
Classes at the Teaching Kitchen are designed for school-aged children and their parents. Guest chefs will create recipes for children based on their favorites flavors. The parents will learn how to reproduce those recipes at home with their children. The purpose is for the family to cook at home to: save money, improve their health by decreasing the amount of processed foods in their daily diet, and re-bond over cooking together.
