Cooking Camps for Children Aged 6 to 14
For the budding chefs in the family. Through a fun mixture of hands-on cooking, fresh recipes, and outdoor games, I teach the basics around kitchen safety, cooking/baking skills, cleanliness, and nutrition. Delicious healthy snacks, breads, cookies, and brunch food are all on the menu during the week as the kids measure, mix, chop, and cook their way through a host of delicious recipes.
