A Six-Week Cooking Series for Independent Young Cooks (Ages 11–18)
Give your teenager a skill they'll use for the rest of their life. Teen Kitchen Confidence is a six-week, hands-on cooking program designed to teach young cooks how to become confident, capable, and independent in the kitchen. Instead of simply following recipes, students will learn how to think like a cook—opening the refrigerator or pantry, recognizing the ingredients they have on hand, and creating delicious, nutritious meals for themselves and their families.
Each week builds on the skills learned in the previous class, beginning with the fundamentals and progressing to planning, preparing, and cooking complete meals. Along the way, students will gain confidence with knife skills, kitchen safety, organization, seasoning, meal planning, budgeting, and cooking techniques that can be applied to hundreds of different recipes.
