✨👩🏻‍🍳 I will be starting cooking classes for the littles beginning on June 10th, 2024!

Class will begin at 9am and run roughly 1-2 hours long. This will be hands-on along with demonstration and about 30 minutes of learning. Each month will be a different themed experience from Asian to Italian to Mediterranean dishes, learning how to proof yeast, make sourdough, and all the different ways to cook eggs! Each class will be held (starting out and depending on popularity) once a month on the FIRST Monday of the month. Classes are $60 each and include, ingredients to make the chosen recipe, all utensils and kitchenware, laminated reusable recipe flashcards and any leftovers! There will only be 10 spots per class. Parents are more than welcome to stay and watch or help their child(ren) out. Classes are for ages 6+

I own and operate as a personal chef with Meals by Michaela, have various years of restaurant experience and am completing my degree in culinary arts. I also hold my ServSafe Food Manager, children’s CPR and First Aid certifications. Cooking has been my passion since I was a little girl watching my grandma cook her Nana’s recipes. My own children are always in the kitchen with me learning and experimenting!

Teaching children how to cook not only promotes creativity and experimentation but also:
• helps practice basic math skills
• supports language skills
• lays the foundation for healthy eating habits
• and encourages social, cognitive and physical development!
