WHY be a Kitchen Kid?

The benefits of encouraging kids to be
confident in the kitchen and excited about
cooking are endless...
The Kitchen ~ Home

...Kids with culinary instruction:

Discover the important role of nutrition in our physical and emotional health,
learning to make healthy choices about what to eat.

Experience success, independence, and increased self-esteem
with a tasty and tactile accomplishment.

Apply math and science, along with other important skills such as reading
comprehension, following directions, geography, and responsibility.

Experiment with their own creations practicing decision making,
and learn about cause and effect & trial and error.

Appreciate different ethnicities and cultures while
tasting new flavors and expanding the palate.
Identify food origins and the advantages of choosing fresh foods
which support the local community.

Learn techniques and the process of cooking which extends well beyond
following recipes.

Value the opportunity to spend time together, in the kitchen and around the
table, reuniting a busy family.
