KIDS' COOKING & BAKING CLASSES

My Chef Megan is now offering in-home cooking and baking classes for kids!

My love of cooking comes from the time I spent in the kitchen with my parents.  I understand that not all parents have the time (and they may not think they have the ability) to teach their kids how to cook and bake.  I find that even picky eaters are more willing to try food when they are the ones who prepared it.

Let me share my love of cooking with your children!

Group Cooking Classes:  A great way to keep the kids occupied during the summer.  Gather your kids and their friends (groups of 6-8 are best) for a hands-on class in your kitchen.   Menus are typically built around a theme, although the homemade pasta/ravioli class is always a hit! Cost: $350 (includes supplies for up to 8 children; additional children can be included for $25 per child)

"Mom's Night Off": (My most popular class) Take a break from the kitchen and put your kids to work for a change! Sessions are available on Thursday or Friday nights. I'll arrive at your house at 5 p.m. with kid-friendly, healthy recipes and all of the ingredients.  Your kids will learn about kitchen safety and prepare the food with only as much help from me as necessary.  It's amazing to see how proud they are of the finished product. They even get excited about setting the table. By 7:00 dinner will be on the table waiting for you!  For best results, I recommend scheduling a few of these sessions, that way the kids can come up with plans for future dinners.  Kids as young as 5 can participate, but I recommend that you have at least one child who is 10 or older who is capable of doing more cooking.  Cost: $120 plus grocery costs, per session.  Service area is limited to inside 610 and areas bordering the south and west sides of the Loop--basically anywhere I don't have to fight traffic to get to!.

 

Other Possibilities for Classes include: Soups, Cookies, muffins, healthy snacks, kitchen safety, knife skills (for the older kids), and more!
