★★★★★Emily GunnMy 13-yo son took an intro class and loved it. The mixed ages class was broken up into groups so that each person had a specific task, and the end result was a delicious mini-meal that parents were invited to help taste at the end. The recipes were just complex enough to be a challenge without being overwhelming, and all the students got to practice different skills and learn real cooking terms. The teacher chefs were supportive and encouraging, and my son can't wait to go back. I would recommend this program!
★★★★★Sara HaleThis is exactly what we were looking for to keep our young chef engaged in the kitchen! Knowledgeable instructors with a great attitude for working with kids. Recipes stretch to aid in learning and make seemingly tough ingredients very approachable! Great location, clean and inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend!
★★★★★Emily CarterWe had a blast for our son’s birthday party! They kept our rowdy group of 5 year olds completely engaged and working for an hour. The entire group had fun and got to participate and the staff was kind and entertaining for the kids. The pizza’s they made were delicious and everyone ate their own. As we packed up to leave my son asked to take more lessons there. Nobody from our group had been before so we were all happy to learn about the new spot. We will be back. Thank you to Jim and the crew for making our son’s party so special!
★★★★★Meggie BuenzKids had a great time learning proper kitchen techniques and trying new recipes! They are excited to make the recipe again at home. We plan to come back again as this class was a hit. They loved learning about what goes into the recipe/food and ate it with pride once it was all done!
★★★★★Sarah LoweThe Young Chef Academy team and curriculum is amazing! My kids (6 and 8) have attended multiple cooking classes and have loved each one. The classes are well run- organized, safe, and tailored to each individual age group. My kids have learned safe knife skills, kitchen terminology, how to read a recipe, and get exposure to new foods each time. The kitchens are brand new and roomy, and I love that parents can easily watch their kids cook through the large windows. We recently held my daughter’s 6th birthday here, the birthday girl and guests had a fabulous time making homemade pizza and decorating cupcakes. The team is top notch and very knowledgeable, not to mention great with energetic kids. Highly recommend!
