Kids:  Junior Chef Cooking Class

Designed for young people, aged 10 to 15.
This series of classes is designed for the young chefs who are interested in expanding on their culinary skills.  This is a 2 hour class that requires the junior chefs to have some beginner cooking skills.  They should understand kitchen safety, know how to boil water, stir food, and flip hot food.

Note: The young chefs do not have to take all of the classes.  They can pick and choose.

A different class each time.

The topics of this class will change each time it is held.  Chef Valerie determines the topic but does also like to hear suggestions from the junior chefs.  One time might be making real food versions of kid faves Chicken nuggets and pizza from scratch. Perhaps the topics wil cover incorporating supper foods and more nutrition into a young chef’s repertoire.  Another could be making spaghetti pasta by hand while simmering a great marinara, or creating a charcuterie board. 

The summer 2026 series of 3 classes will cover:

• To be determined.  Make requests!
•  

The young chefs should eat lunch before attending the 2 pm series.  They will be dining on their classwork at the end of the class or taking it home to share.
