Choose Your Experience: Hands-On or Demonstration

Our cooking lessons can be tailored to your preference. Choose a hands-on experience where you and your guests actively participate in preparing each dish, or opt for a demonstration-style class, where you can watch and learn as I prepare the meal in front of you. Either way, you’ll gain valuable insights and tips, along with a delicious meal to enjoy at the end.

Kids’ Cooking lessons and Parties

Looking for a fun and educational activity for kids? Our kids’ cooking classes and parties are perfect for birthdays, special occasions, or just a fun day at home. Designed for children aged 6 and up, these lessons focus on teaching basic cooking skills in a safe and engaging way.

• • • Pizza Party: Kids love pizza, and what could be more fun than making it from scratch? Each child gets to create their own mini pizza with a variety of toppings. They’ll learn how to make the dough, spread the sauce, and choose their toppings before watching their pizzas bake in the oven.
    • Cupcake Baking and Decorating Party: Let the kids experience the joy of baking from scratch! We’ll start with making the cupcake batter, teach them how to properly mix and measure ingredients, and then bake their creations. Once the cupcakes are out of the oven, kids will learn how to mix different colors of icing, use piping bags, and decorate with a range of fun toppings. It’s a sweet way to teach basic baking and decorating skills while fostering creativity.
    • Simple Cooking and Baking Techniques: Teach kids how to make simple dishes like pasta, fruit salads, or homemade cookies. These classes are designed to be fun, interactive, and educational, helping children build confidence in the kitchen.

For each lesson, I focus on making the experience engaging and interactive, encouraging kids to explore their creativity while learning valuable cooking skills. At the end of the lesson, they get to enjoy their culinary creations—an experience that’s both rewarding and delicious!
