Your child / children create awesome dishes ranging from appetizers, pastas, burgers, desserts and we also explore foods from different parts of the world, and are also involved in mystery baskets and cooking competitions that allows them to have an amazing culinary experience that they could later share with their families.

Allergies and Substitutions:
At the beginning of each class we ask parents to list all allergies their child / children might have. We also consider dietary preferences. All foods are done with each allergy in mind and we then substitute ingredients to ensure the safety of our students.
