YOUNG CHEFS® ACADEMY
Our story began from the same mindset as the culture that prevails in our company today.

"We joined young chefs academy about a year ago and my 9 years old kid loved it. She is a picky eater but something about making the food herself among friends and without parental pressure made her looking forward to trying it and making it at home. They learn to make food from all over the world and desserts as well, they learned technique and different taste profiles. She also progressed through the badges until she got her black coat...I can't recommend the school enough."

"This place was great! We went there for my son's preschool field trip and made pretzels. The kids had a lot of fun and enjoyed getting to eat their creations. The class was well designed and interactive, which was key to keep the kids engaged. Would recommend for class trips, birthday parties, or even a parent/kid night out together."

"Wow! Blown away by the service here! Our daughter had her birthday here. From the jump, the staff made her feel so welcome and special. They were engaged and had the entire party enthralled in the cooking projects they had lined up. I can’t say enough good things about Young Chefs! Highly recommend! To quote my daughter, “Best birthday ever!”

"We love Young Chef's Academy. Our son comes home ready to cook for us and it's amazing. We're happy he's not only learning a life skill, but also if he wants to take it farther in life, he can."

"This little cooking school is nothing short of amazing! I really thought it would just be easy stuff like cookies and all. Well I was definitely wrong! They do make cookies but its nowhere close to your average sugar cookie. They make some amazing dishes! Anything from exquisite breakfast, lunch, and dinner items to desserts of all kinds! Not only is the menu of items they cook amazing they bring in recipes from all over the world."

"Our Girl Scout Troop had the most FABULOUS time learning to cook at Young Chef’s Academy yesterday! The girls learned all about kitchen appliances and utensils, and learned to use a knife - most of them for the first time! The chefs were so professional and patient, everything was prepared ahead of time for us, and the food we made was delicious! I would DEFINITELY recommend this activity for a birthday party, girl scout event, or pretty much anything else! So FUN and such a great value for the money!"
