Cooking Class - 5-Day Foodie Fun Teens: Baking Challenge - Alexandria

What You’ll Do

Take your child around the world without leaving home in this international class.

In this hands-on cooking series, your teen will get to expand their culinary horizons with a baking class focused on flavors and techniques from around the world. Taught by a top-rated instructor, this is one of those summer cooking classes that is sure to challenge your teen while still giving them a fun, creative outlet where they can thrive. Plus, each student gets to take home a fun printed menu and graduation certificate at the end of the week to show off to folks back home.

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

The chef and staff were great - helpful and knowledgeable, and I did pick up a few new techniques. That said, the overall class setup left a lot to be desired. You share ingredients and workspace with another couple, which makes the experience feel more like group work than a hands-on class. If you’re not paired with another group, you get a much better experience and more food, which feels unfair given the $100 per person price tag. It was a bit awkward managing tasks with strangers, and not worth the cost in our view. Note: the class is hosted by Sur La Table, so you might as well book directly if it sounds like a fit for you.

My Grandson & I had a great time with Chef Ben learning about blanching green beans, double frying French fries, lovely sauces and the best ever searing a delicious steak. Thanks Chef Ben….it was a wonderful experience.
