Young Chefs® Academy is a unique culinary experience which offers cooking classes to children in a safe environment that encourages discovery and creativity. Each visit to Young Chefs® Academy is a new experience with fresh monthly themes and exciting new programs. Students sharpen their skills by employing the mantra, “Mise en Place” which, in the cooking world, translates into “Everything in its place.”

At Young Chefs® Academy, we take the fear, mystery and the unknown out of cooking. In addition, each class and event incorporates supplemental subject matter which ties into each theme. Our staff of highly qualified teachers, chefs and nutritional experts carry out our mission to provide an interactive learning experience that gives children the opportunity to develop a life-long love for the culinary arts.











aWeekly Classes

Weekly Classes at Young Chefs® Academy is a great opportunity to sharpen life-skills and stir-up creativity! Join us each week as we explore a veritable smorgasbord of dishes. Each month is based on a different theme with new recipes each week. One month we may be discovering new tastes from culinary masters such as Rachael Ray and Emeril Lagasse while another we may be soaking up the traditions of old world dishes of Italian Cuisine.

Not only will we be cooking, we will be plunging into knowledge from the basic cognitive subject areas. In truth, any recipe prepared at Young Chefs® Academy is a chance to explore many topics of study in a fun and interactive setting. Our highly qualified staff of teachers and chefs are on hand to make each cooking class a memorable experience for the students. Parents will be surprised to watch as their “young chef” grows with confidence and knowledge as they create these recipes at home for them!

Each unique session is designed to familiarize children with diverse foods, while they experience what it feels like to create and taste scrumptious recipes themselves! Building self-confidence, creativity and a life-long skill are important ingredients to the programs.

Young chefs will learn basics in:

  • kitchen safety
  • proper food handling
  • food preparation
  • cooking and baking techniques
  • presentation
  • table setting
  • manners
  • basic cognitive subject matter
  • and so much more!

These courses are designed to help young chefs explore cuisines while building upon basic skills.
