Ages 6 to 12

Kids cooking classes

Two hours where your child does the actual cooking. They mix, knead, roll, fill, decorate and bake, then take home what they made. These are drop-off classes, so parents do not need to stay.

Kids classes have included pasta from scratch, personal pizzas, cookie decorating and a pumpkin-everything morning. Every class is listed with its own date, time, age range and price.

Family classes

Cook together

Some nights the point is not to drop off. Family classes put a parent or grandparent at the same station as the kid, working the same dough, and everybody sits down to what they made.

Everyone cooks

Adults and children work side by side. Nobody stands at the back watching a demonstration.

Booked per person

Family classes are priced per person, so you reserve one seat for each person who is cooking.

Built around the season

Holiday and seasonal family classes are the most popular ones we run. Dates go up on the classes page as they open.
