Kitchen Basics
I want each child to have fun cooking. That is why I keep my class sizes smaller. In class I teach kids to follow a recipe. Which means each child is making the same recipe. They prep food and actually cook on a cooktop or bake in my small oven. Depending on the recipe they learn chopping, slicing, dicing & basic knife skills. My goal is to support them and help build confidence.
Kitchen Safety
Being safe in the kitchen is important for so many reasons. The biggest one is cross contamination. I teach kids about the importance of proper handwashing and basic skills to prevent cross contamination. The goal is to make them more aware of the kitchen surroundings. Teaching them about how to use appliances safely.
Eating Healthier Food
When ever possible in class we use fresh/frozen organic food. We avoid fake foods that are highly processsed. All recipes are from scratch.
My goal is to help families move away from processed fake foods and get back to eating more real, whole foods. That is why we avoid foods with artificial dyes, colors & flavors.
Life Skills in a fun way
I teach kids how to make healthier choices by opening there minds to try new foods and learn to cook. We talk about how food affects our bodies when we make unhealthy choices too often. I keep the recipes easy & fun. My goal is to prepare them for college & living on their own. Showing them how to make healthy simple meals with small appliances opens the doors for them to practice healthier eating more often.
Healthy Steps Kids Cook
My classes are designed to allow kids to practice and build confidence. They are prefect for young adults getting ready for college or to live on their own. Healthy Steps Kids Cook classes provide a structured environment where kids can learn the basics of good nutrition and healthy food preparation. I am passionate about teaching kids to love whole foods especially fruits and veggies and show them fun ways to prepare them. As a Healthy Hands certified instructor I offer a creative series of classes, camps and after school programs, providing many enrichment opportunities for kids of all ages to explore as they learn a life skill.
Every class is intended to inspire your young chefs to make healthy choices. They will have a blast whipping up tasty foods, kids will also gain confidence and independence. Class space is limited, so contact us today to reserve space for your child!
