Kids Academy (Ages 10-15) - Learn to Cook. Gain Independence. Experience Enjoyment.

​​

In this 5-part Kids Academy for children and teenagers aged 10 to 15, participants learn

the fundamentals of cooking from scratch over five Wednesday afternoons.

Step by step, they discover essential basic techniques and how to safely handle fresh ingredients.

Each week focuses on a new theme: after a short, child-friendly theory session,

it’s time to chop, stir, and cook – and of course enjoy the meal together at the end.

Independence, teamwork, creativity, and above all the joy of cooking are at the heart of the course.
