Healthy Culinary Workshops

Our Healthy Culinary Workshop is an interactive program for students to learn about health, nutrition and how to cook delicious, homemade meals at home. It’s open to students who may not know the basics of cooking or just want to expand their knowledge of cooking and explore healthy options in the process. Our engaging classes are taught by real Chef Teachers who inspire students to cookduring each lesson.

If your student has food allergies, you must note this during registration. The Chefs are not able to substitute food for allergies. We will send a cookbook of the proposed recipes to the families prior to the start of the class.

Samples from each dish, including all fresh ingredients

In-Person: Our Chef Teacher arrives on site with the ingredients and leads students through culinary workshops.
