CLass Brochure | SPRING 2021

The Children’s Food Lab is offering virtual-live classes this spring via Zoom so that children can have fun cooking and experimenting in the kitchen, and can learn some cool facts about food and kitchen skills, too. Through our hands-on cooking classes, kids can create dishes while being part of a fun community, connecting with their friends and making new ones, too.

Genius Dinner Group

In this class, we’ll be making genius kid-friendly, delicious dinners for our families every Wednesday afternoon, so that dinner is ready when we’re done.

How I Teach

I believe that within a simple recipe there are many learning opportunities — exploring the history, science (nutrition/chemistry), art or culture of a food or dish, or the harvesting and processing of our ingredients. Making a cracker, for example, is a lesson in wheat, gluten, how it’s harvested, ground and sifted into all-purpose flour.

Because kids are inundated with a lot of online learning, we make sure that we keep things fun, hands-on, and interesting.

I’m a trained chef and have been teaching children and adults over the past 15 years. For more info on me, go to www.jillsantopietro.com

When classes number 10 or more, a moderator ensures that the students are engaged, their questions are answered, and the pace of instruction is adequate.

* If you have young kids and are interested in a class for them, please email me at jsantopietro@gmail.com. If we can put together a group of 10 students, we can make a class happen.
