Overview

In our kids' hands-on cooking classes at Ballston Quarter children learn to measure, mix, and roll, while tweens and teens learn to reference recipes, ingredient identification, and proper measuring techniques. In every class they'll work with our professional chef to learn true culinary techniques: knife skills, sautéing, grilling, boiling, braising, baking, and more, all while exploring new world cuisines, healthy menus, and seasonal dishes, vegetable cookery, pasta making and even gluten-free baking as they make sophisticated, delicious dishes!

Skills and techniques expand throughout our summer camps, weekend classes, teen nights and birthday parties.

Additional Information

Thirty minutes is set aside at the end of the class for the students to eat.

We use several highly rated food distributors such as US Foods, Metropolitan and Capitol Seaboard to ensure our ingredients are safe. They vet organic farms and deliver food we can be sure is safe and follows freshness guidelines!

Our commercial kitchen is health department regulated. We hold business and health department licenses in Arlington County.

All cooking is done under high powered hoods with a sprinkler (ansel) systems, and we use induction burners and not flames to keep your kids from burning themselves.

Allergies & Substitutes: We've never met an ingredient we couldn't substitute. Please let us know if your children have allergies or are vegetarians, do not eat pork, or have a gluten allergy. What ever the issue we can work around it.
