It’s back to school time. Back to Cooking School, that is!

We’re offering a Young Chefs Cooking Class at Central Market Cooking School which will introduce 7-12 year olds to kitchen fundamentals like shopping, prepping, cooking, and cleaning up. Join us on Saturday September 7th for a fun class. Participants will tour Central Market to learn about choosing fresh, affordable ingredients for the recipe. The young chefs will prepare a simple, nutritious and tasty one-pot meal, and we’ll come together at the end of the class to enjoy that meal.  We’ll be drawing a name of one lucky Young Chef who will win a prize from Le Creuset.

Dietary restrictions are happily accommodated, but please do let us know in advance.

 

Cost includes all ingredients and tools needed for the class and the shared meal.
