Our programs focus on Foods of the World, Art and Science, and Farm to Table concepts. We also have a Culinary Teen Competition where teens learn the basics of cooking in a progressive manner.

Our Spring season of the Kids and Teens After School Cooking Program is scheduled to start on March 11th. We designed classic seasonal menus for this five-week program. Our young chef ages range from four years old to teenagers. The chefs divide the groups into appropriate age groups, and give them cooking tasks based on their skills. We are so thrilled that many children are interested and excited about our program. We have many repeat students that have been coming for years and enhancing their culinary skills, and we are happy to welcome them back. We are so thankful to build a community of healthy kids!
