Sharing the Joy of Cooking with Kids

Single session or series options

In addition to essential cooking skills like chopping, grilling, and sautéing, our instructors work with your children to teach them skills that will stay with them for years. Classes and camps cover organizational skills, learning to work as a team, cooperation, and taking turns. Sessions also touch on math skills (as they learn to double or half ingredient measurements) and reading comprehension (as they learn to work from a recipe).

We make an effort to introduce ingredients and flavors that may not be familiar to many students, like adding sweet potato to a biscuit recipe for a healthy, hearty twist. We balance fun, unusual flavors with classic recipes they’ll make again and again.

Planning a Party?

Choose an entrée, dessert, and/or appetizer from our kid friendly menus, and our instructor will come to your home to host a 1 1/2-hour party. Kids will decorate their own chef hats and as the entrée is cooking, children will have time to decorate their placemat and chat with friends. The kids eat the food they prepare and receive printed recipes of everything they make.

Girls and boys, ages anywhere from 4-14, will get to learn by doing, and are encouraged to explore their imagination and creativity while learning basic cooking skills and safety in the kitchen.

Our instructors will bring all the necessary cooking supplies and food to teach kids how to make tasty eats from scratch.

Earn your Legacy Cooking Badge!

Our instructors travel to your residence with all of the supplies to cook or bake your way to a badge. We will also cover food safety and nutritional information, and supply your troops with literature and recipes. The badge class will last about 1.5-2 hours and the troops will be able to eat what they make at the end of the session!

Tiny chefs can coordinate with the following troops to help your scouts earn their next badge: Brownie, Junior, Cadette and Senior level Girl Scouts.
