Cooking Class - 5-Day Foodie Fun Teens: Teen Chefs

What You’ll Do

Five day culinary excursion where teens will learn cooking essentials with expert mentoring.

In this cooking series, your teens will experience summer cooking classes like never before. Led by a top-rated chef, they’ll unlock their potential in the kitchen as they craft starters, mains and desserts. Beyond learning advanced recipes, they’ll improve their kitchen utensil handling, discover new techniques and unleash their creativity in an encouraging environment. Your 12-17-year-olds will be talking about this 5-day experience for the rest of the summer. They’ll also get to take home a certificate and a printed menu of the meals they created.

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 class was great, we made candy. I would like a little smaller class size. The Carmel turned out really hard on our Carmel turtles (bummer). The marshmallow wich i could care less about was amazingly delicious, I really enjoyed it. The instructors were nice and attentive. Overall it was a fun experience to have with my wife, I would do it again. The

This class was a gift to my wife as we just celebrated out 35th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed the class. The steps were easy to follow, and the food was delicious. We now can bring some fun Ramen making back to our family of 4 kids, who absolutely love Ramen. The downside was the size of the class. It was a bit crowded at the tables, and it felt like instructing that many people got a bit chaotic. Other than that, my wife and I had a fun time.
