Cooking Class - 5-Day Foodie Fun Teens: Gourmet Adventures
Cooking Class - 5-Day Foodie Fun Teens: Gourmet Adventures
Aspiring chefs tackle challenging recipes across five days of culinary adventures
In this immersive cooking series, teen chefs stretch their creativity in the kitchen while sharpening essential skills from knife work to presentation using advanced cooking and baking techniques. Guided by a chef instructor, students work together to prepare a wide variety of sweet and savory creations worthy of a gourmet restaurant. In addition to kitchen fundamentals, summer cooking classes encourage important lifelong skills such as communication, confidence and collaboration. At the end of the series, students take home a printed menu and graduation certificate to celebrate their accomplishment.
Classes typically run for two to two and a half hours, unless specified otherwise. Group work is a key component; kids can expect to collaborate with four other students. The class involves standing, cooking and active participation throughout. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are required and long hair should be securely tied back for safety. Please note that these are drop-off classes. Parents do not stay during the classes.
This event is suitable for kids aged 12-17

I think the chef was a little unprepared and disorganized. Also, the chef should circulate through the class more to make sure everyone gets some 1 on 1 time with the instructor. Course was kind of expensive for what little it covered.

The food came out great. I felt the whole experience was very rushed. I did not like sharing a station and ingredients with another couple, especially since there were four stations in the kitchen, and only three couples and we were all crowded around 2 stations. This setup also prevented us from being able to perform all the techniques.

Yes, was a fun class. Chef was wonderful and great personality and his assistant was nice and accommodating too. Loved the recipes and learning to build & cook them with my friends. Would highly Suggest to have POTHOLDERS available for safety when we are grabbing the HOT Pan handles while cooking- several of us had quite the shock of grabbing a HOT handle with no potholders available.~ especially when it’s connected to a Kitchen Store…? Thanks for teaching me a bit of Chinese cooking ??

Chef Tanya and Jake, the cooking instructors, were terrific! They not only shared valuable tips for cooking but also for prepping and cleaning the station. I was thrilled with the class and can't wait to sign up for another one. If you're interested, book your spot on a Saturday or Sunday.

What a great class. From the beginning with regard to explaining the different variations that we were going to make. Guiding us in the preparing of the ingredients and working with us in the cooking of the ingredients and how it all comes together . The end result the best getting to eat what we made. Delicious. Ready to register for my next class.Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
