Parents, pass on dinner duty once a week! Each week, students learn basic cooking skills while making dinner for their family! Students will create delicious dishes while focusing on the importance of local ingredients, scratch cooking, and natural preservatives while practicing knife skills and kitchen safety.  Each student makes an entrée that serves 4 to 6 and will be packaged in oven-ready cookware with baking instructions. Each session our menu changes but we always start with a salad and end with pizza! Please note that we offer vegetarian options upon request during registration. All our meals are nut free but for all other allergies or dietary restrictions please contact us directly via email.
