Class Description
Does your child love to experiment with food, or are they more of a picky eater? In this hands-on cooking course chef instructor Jennifer will teach students how to work with a variety of ingredients and techniques to create both savory and sweet dishes that are fun, flavorful, and seasonal. In addition to learning a new and simple recipe each week, students will come away with a basic understanding of how to: follow instructions, set up and clean up, use a (plastic) knife and cutting board, work together with their peers in small groups, and most importantly — enjoy preparing and working with food! Over the course of the fall and spring semesters a range of recipes may include the following: savory couscous-taboule salad, cucumber-yogurt dip, tuna croquettes, deviled egg salad, creamy hummus, and cold gazpacho soup; sweet mixed cereal-marshmallow treats, pumpkin muffins, winter holiday gingerbread cupcakes, and decorated Valentine’s Day cookies. By the last class students will be more confident getting around their own home kitchens, and even the fussiest of eaters will become more adventurous!
*PLEASE NOTE: Because of the size and nature of the classes the instructor cannot accept students with any allergies at this time.

I am a native New Yorker and parent of two kids in the New York City public schools on Manhattan's Upper West Side. I have been a cooking instructor for over 15 years with most of my time spent at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) and the Jewish Community Center Manhattan (JCC) on the Upper West Side. Recently I created virtual food programs for ContextLearning.com and I continue to teach privately in person and virtually to all age groups throughout the country. While I enjoy many types of cuisines and teach a variety of recipe form all over the world, I have a soft spot for Middle Ea...
Instructor's reviews
My daughter actually switched to the other section of this class... 3rd-5th Grade, so I don't want to give this teacher a bad review but she had started in this section (K-2), so that's the review I was sent.
Overall, I found this class to be very disappointing. It was listed as a class taught by a Disney Princess and the class ended up having 3 different teachers during the course. This was confusing for the students and didn't offer any cohesiveness. The teachers couldn't even remember the kids names. At the end of the semester, very few songs or dances were actually taught and the kids mostly played games during the hours of the class. The class isn't inexpensive, so for this, I wouldn't gone somewhere else to give my daughter a better experience and have her learn something.

Harry Potter Camp was so much fun! My girls loved making wands and creating potions...and thinking of mischievous ways to stir trouble at Hogwarts! The creative programming was wonderful for this outdoor day camp and kept my girls busy and having a great time. Their only request was that the day lasted longer! They came home and continued creating ideas to keep the magic going. Thank you!

I feel that this course is not tailored for K-1 grade. K-1 graders need more moving around, especially after a long day at school, then was made possible by the instructor.
